This was an exciting little splatter western. Maybe not as good as Hunger on the Chisholm Trail, but it‘s a delightfully dark and gory distraction after a month of mostly feel-good holiday-related titles!

On the back cover blurb of this book, it says, “The Magpie Coffin is an unrelenting tale of revenge, with precise brutality and extreme violence.” Well… I was sold!

The Magpie Coffin by Wile E. Young was exactly that; it was brutal and had some very extreme violence that had me cringing from time to time… But it also had a lot of heart!
