Jordan Peele's Nope meets True Grit in Nicholas Belardes’s Ten Sleep, a modern Western horror about a trio of young people on a 10-day cattle drive that leads them through a canyon haunted by ancient mysteries and savage beasts who existed long before humankind.
A young Mexican American woman detects uncanny creatures stalking her on a cattle drive toward a canyon soaked in blood in an unforgettable novel, brilliantly infusing the modern Western with spine-chilling horror . . . When Greta Molina’s old friend, Tiller, offered her the job, a 10-day cattle drive across the Wyoming prairie to the ranching town of Ten Sleep, it sounded like a well-paid break. A few long days on an ATV with 320 cows and calves, alongside two guys she’s known since college, will give her time to sort out the mess in her head. What Greta doesn’t know is the legacy of murder and rot that runs deep into the rocks of this land. As each night passes on the prairie, the trio faces mounting supernatural dangers: a ghost train of the damned, wild animals walking alongside dead ones—and evidence of a gigantic creature in the skies, one that’s supposedly been extinct for eons. And Tiller may be hiding even darker secrets the further they go. Safety is only ten sleeps away, but Greta soon realizes that may be too long for all of them to survive.
