Synopsis

Cora and her husband hunt things - things that shouldn't exist.

About Lee Collins

Lee Collins has spent his entire life in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains. Despite this (or perhaps because of it), he generally prefers to stay indoors reading and playing video games. As a child, he never realized that he could create video games for a living, so he chose to study creative writing at Colorado State University. Upon graduation, he worked as an editorial intern for a local magazine before securing a desk job with his alma mater. Lee’s short fiction has appeared in Ensorcelled andMorpheus Tales, the latter of which awarded him second place in a flash fiction contest. In 2009, a friend challenged him to participate in National Novel Writing Month, and the resulting manuscript became his debut novel, The Dead of Winter. It will be published in 2012, and the sequel, She Returns From War, arrives in 2013. In his spare minutes between writing and shepherding graduate students at his day job, Lee still indulges in his oldest passions: books and video games. He and his girlfriend live in Colorado with their imaginary corgi Fubsy Bumble.

What can I say???? Great book. This is a western, really. It makes no pretense at being anything else...well, I mean besides a fantasy. This is about "monster hunters" in the American west. And I like it. It does what it does rather well. So, why 4 stars not 5? Well I have a couple of gripes. They ar......more

DEAD OF WINTER by Lee Collins is one of the latest books I've read on my Weird West kick. I've always been a fan of the genre and even wrote my Cthulhu Armageddon books with the theme but am not as sufficiently versed in the subject as I want to be. This came highly recommended and I immediately tor......more

Goodreads review by Ranting on July 18, 2013

[URL not allowed]-o... The Dead of Winter is the début novel by American author Lee Collins, and billed as "True Grit meets True Blood," it's a paranormal western action mystery (I know right!?). It pits the investigating gunfighters Cora and her husband Ben Oglesby against vampires......more

Goodreads review by Michael on October 21, 2012

I didn’t know much about this book apart from the tag on the front of the book ‘True Grit meets True Blood’. This was enough to get my attention and I felt like a western paranormal urban fantasy novel might be a fun read. Cora and her husband Ben are hunters, but for things that should not exist in......more
