Story
In the tiny timber town of Cordelia, Idaho, 99-year-old Weldon Applegate recounts his life in all its glory, filled with tall tales writ large with murder, mayhem, avalanches, and bootlegging. It’s the story of dark pine forests brewing with ancient magic, and Weldon’s struggle as a boy to keep his father’s inherited timber claim, the Lost Lot, from the ravenous clutches of Linden Laughlin.

Eloquent Villain; If The Devil Carried an Axe
Reviewed: 10-22-21
I am a massive Josh Ritter fan, so my opinion may be biased, but rarely have I so viscerally hated a villain. The everyday tedium and flaw of his characters adds a great realness to them all, and therefore moreso adds to the malice of well spoken Linden Laughlin. Weldon Applegate knows how to keep a ghost on his mountain.
