Reviews

A brilliant, bloody, violent dark fantasy Charlie Huston turned up past 11.
-Andy Remic, author of theClockwork Vampire Chronicles

From its opening chapter,The Dead of Winterlassoed me into
its gritty world of gunslingers and demons. A page-turning thrill ride
of a novel that could well redefine your perception of the wild west.
- Rio Youers, author ofWestlake Soul

The Dead of Winteraint your granddads Western. Lee Collins paints a picture of the Colorado wilds as cold and unforgiving as the creatures that inhabit them. And in Cora Oglesby, Collins has created a heroine as tough as saddle-leather, and as fiery and sharp as rotgut whiskey. Read it with the lights on but for damn sure read it.
- Chris F Holm, author ofDead HarvestandThe Wrong Goodbye

Author Bio

Lee Collins has spent his entire life in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains. Despite this (or perhaps because of it), he generally prefers to stay indoors reading and playing video games. As a child, he never realized that he could create video games for a living, so he chose to study creative writing at Colorado State University. Upon graduation, he worked as an editorial intern for a local magazine before securing a desk job with his alma mater. Lee's short fiction has appeared in Ensorcelled and Morpheus Tales, the latter of which awarded him second place in a flash fiction contest. In 2009, a friend challenged him to participate in National Novel Writing Month, and the resulting manuscript became his debut novel, Dead of Winter. In his spare minutes between writing and shepherding graduate students at his day job, Lee still indulges in his oldest passions- books and video games. He and his girlfriend live in Colorado with their imaginary corgi Fubsy Bumble.
