Two turn of the century gunslinging hitmen from the Pacific Northwest are hired by a white woman in native dress named Magic Child to kill the monster that lives in the ice caves in the basement of her father’s mansion in remote Oregon. Yes, you read that right, and it actually gets weirder from there. This short novel from the 1970s is best described as a literary gothic horror weird western Lovecraftian comedy. Also, sexy times. Pretty great read.
Gaming notes- this book makes a great inspiration for a Call of Cthulhu scenario. Set in 1902, it’s right smack between the traditional Call of Cthulhu time setting (1920s) and the Down Darker Trails setting (1880s).
