Urraca Mesa Redemption:

A Dark Western of Blood, Betrayal & the Supernatural

By Daniel P. Douglas

A haunted lawman. A woman out for vengeance. A cursed mesa where Hell itself cracks through the earth.

U.S. Marshal Winslow Murphy thought he’d outrun his past—until his old gang resurfaces, hunting for lost gold on Urraca Mesa, a place whispered to be cursed. When he crosses paths with Jacinta Cortez, a gunslinger in disguise with a deadly score to settle, they form an uneasy alliance against a common enemy.

But the mesa is more than just legend. Portals to the underworld open without warning. Ghostly riders haunt the shadows. And the Devil himself may be watching.

As the outlaws close in and supernatural horrors stir, Winslow and Jacinta must fight for survival—not just against ruthless men, but against something far worse.

In this gripping supernatural Western, award-winning author Daniel P. Douglas blends relentless action, eerie horror, and a gut-wrenching journey of redemption. Perfect for fans of Joe R. Lansdale, Stephen King's Dark Tower, and supernatural Westerns with grit, heart, and horror.

On Urraca Mesa, no one escapes unscathed.
