"...what happened to them is about as close to killin' as day is to night. Those steers was ripped to pieces." No one knows who or what is killing the cattle at Groom ranch, but Sam Dryden, with his supernatural greenwood gun, and Raisy, with her 'deck' of knives, are determined to find out. What they discover is more horrifying than either of them ever dreamed, and the secret may be one that takes them to the grave. Seasoned with a dash of horror and a pinch of sci-fi, Deadstock is a tasty dish just waiting to be devoured. Deadstock is Ian Rogers' first foray into the wilds of the Weird West.

Rogers is a great writer, which is important to note, because, quite honestly, in the hands of a lesser writer, this book would have been a hot mess. Instead, it's entertaining, and thought-provoking.
Unfortunately, it's also very obviously setting up more stories. Stories I hope we actually get to read, but it's this book's only downfall and the reason for the 4-star rating.
Rogers sets up a lot of interesting points. Who's this Marshall? What's with the dish? Hell, what's with the Groom kids? What's the relationship between Raisy and Dryden? What's with Dryden's gun?
For me, I felt this would have been better served by holding this story back until either a) a series of two or three could have been released, or; b) Rogers had made this into a novel instead.
So, the basis of my complaint here is, he grabbed me, piqued my interest, and then we're left to dangle, wondering if we'll ever see more of Dryden and Raisy. ( )
