Horror ensued. In the brutal aftermath of The American Civil War, the blood-stained president Abraham Lincoln was slain and exalted unto godhood via newspapers across the nation. Meanwhile, terror gripped the land. The tattered remains of the fallen South caused many to live in desolation. Once marvelous cities now lay in ashes. Oppressive businessmen and bankers (called carpet-baggers) came to prey upon the people in their weakness. Federal soldiers occupied the Appalachian hillsides, cities, and towns of the South to further suppress their conquered foe.

The secession had been crushed. Rebellions would rise. Various bands of masked vigilantes would seek to exact justice from this tyrannical force that invaded their hometowns and brutally murdered their brethren. Despite the lies the American news media would spin, these former soldiers could not forget the darkness they saw protruding from Washington D.C amid Lincoln’s rule and reign.

With the war now seemingly over, the infamous negro assassin Reginald Beauregard Valencia and the remaining members of the Confederate Militia Heaven’s Seven disbanded. Seeking peace and happiness with his family, he’d find that every seed that he’d planted up unto this point was about to produce a bitter yield. Former Union Soldier, a friend turned foe, and Union League man, Clay Corpse has now villainously plotted revenge for his lost leg.

Following God Walks The Dark Hills: Book I&II (1830s-1864), this book journeys with our characters through the Reconstruction era. Clearly, for them and America, the war was far from over.

BE ADVISED: This book as others by B. L. Blankenship is exceedingly violent. While an enumerable amount of real-world events and details abound within its pages, it is to be regarded overall as a work of Adult Fiction; specifically Civil War-era Western Horror.
