Publisher's summary
The year is 1875 and outlaw Salem Covington has spent the last 20 years collecting stories, possessions, and lives. Nicknamed "The Black Magpie" for his exploits during the war, Salem has carved a bloody trail across the western territories. Informed that his mentor, Comanche shaman Dead Bear, has been murdered. Salem vows vengeance on the perpetrators. Enlisting the help of an army scout and preserving the body of his mentor in a specially made coffin, he sets out in pursuit. But the choices of Salem's past that earned him the moniker "Black Magpie" are riding hard behind him and the only weapon that can kill him might not be as far away as he thinks.
The Magpie Coffin is an unrelenting tale of revenge, with precise brutality and extreme violence.

Story
Three low-income families have been given a handsome retainer to join Geraldine Borden for a day at her cliffside estate. All the parents must do to collect the rest of their money is allow their children to test out the revolutionary playground equipment Geraldine has been working on for decades. But there’s a reason the structures in the bowels of her gothic castle have taken so long to develop—they were never meant to see the light of day.

Story
Oliver Fitch has a troubling issue: He lives in a state of constant terror. After purchasing a convenience store in a once civil society, the streets around him have rapidly devolved into utter lawlessness. They're now festering with sinister gutter scum that live only to harass and intimidate him. His pathetic profits are gouged under the threat of violence, and there isn't a damn thing he can do about it. Because in a city with no rules, where the sun never shines, the authorities are no help. In fact, they're an equal part of the problem.

Two men, each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized America’s rush toward the twentieth century. The architect was Daniel Hudson Burnham, the fair’s brilliant director of works and the builder of many of the country’s most important structures, including the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in Washington, D.C. The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built his “World’s Fair Hotel” just west of the fairgrounds.

Ten years after the collapse, Huxley has built a good life again. He has a loving wife, a farm with fields of golden barley, and a daughter with a strange and wonderful gift. Then the slavers come. Working out in the fields during the attack, Huxley returns too late. His daughter has been taken, and his wife is bleeding out, her last whispered words about a man with a scorpion tattoo on his neck. Where do the slavers go? Huxley has no idea. He knows only that they head east, and so will he, setting out on foot across the desert of the Wastelands.

In the beginning, the gods destroyed the world. Five hundred years later, things haven’t gotten much better for humans. The demigods that were left behind to guard over humanity have been using them as fodder for an endless civil war between themselves, and the humans just go on dutifully slaughtering each other, battle after battle. It’s not all bad, though. Perry McGown makes his living off those bloody, stinking battlefields. He works on a crew that reclaims all the spent shell casings. But if anyone found out that he was a deserter from the war, he’d be executed for heresy.

But the killings brought haunting nightmares that wouldn't end until he settled an old score with a Union Colonel determined to see Shiloh dead.

As Nicky Hector—the unstoppable slasher from the Lunatic horror movie franchise—Jonathan Zain reached levels of fame once unimaginable to a young actor. On top of headlining fifteen films, he appeared on MTV, had his own 976 number, and became one of the most recognizable faces of the 1980s. But that was thirty years ago. Now it’s 2010, and Zain is a has-been celebrity making his living signing autographs at fan conventions, a relic of the bygone slasher movie boom.

interesting concept
poor execution, narrator seemed to be trying too hard, switching voices sometimes at the wrong point. sometimes needlessly descriptive- not every mouth movement needs a sentence describing it.

Not your typical western!
Great one from Death's Head Press. They're really on to something with their Splatter Westerns.
Salem Covington is a ruthless killer on a quest for revenge. I loved the supernatural aspect of the story; it adds a new dimension to the typical tropes of a western.
The performance was excellent. Great quality, and very well acted.
Great work overall. Highly recommended!

Splatter Western Book 1
I am a big fan of the Splatter Western line from Death’s Head Press so I was thrilled when I first heard the Splatter Western line would become available in audiobooks. I was even more excited when I heard THE MAGPIE COFFIN by Wile E. Young would be narrated by Sean Duregger which made revisiting this great read even more enjoyable. Looking forward to the rest of the Splatter Western line becoming available in audiobook format.🤠

I Can Hardly Wait for More
Wile E. Young paints a grim portrait of the postbellum American west, replete with magic and mystery. In this shadow permeated version of the wild west, the author spins a tale that fuses horror and fantasy with otherwise familiar tropes and western motifs.
It would be impossible to talk about The Magpie Coffin without first spending some time introducing the protagonist of this amazing Splatter Western. Salem Covington is a riveting character. One can think of him, in the simplest terms, as being equal parts Jonah Hex, a wild west incarnation of Dexter Morgan, and a little bit Elric of Melnibone--substituting a pistol for the sword, Stormbringer. A student of dark magic from various sources and cursed with the need to kill for the sake of his own damned soul, Mr. Covington is far from a heroic figure. There is a strained and rigid nobility to him, though. As with most antihero characters, he has a code of sorts that guides his actions.
Upon discovering that his old Comanche teacher, Dead Bear, has been murdered and that a white buffalo has been slaughtered by the same band of killers, Covington sets out on a quest to bring down everyone involved. Enlisting the assistance of one of the men associated with the killing, his pursuit of vengeance carries the reader through the Dakota Territory and into the Rocky Mountains of what would soon become Colorado.
Leaving a trail of bodies and tortured souls in his wake, Salem Covington chases quarry who might just be too dangerous for even The Black Magpie to overcome.
My only complaints with this book are present because I happen to be a South Dakota resident. North and South Dakota didn't become states until 1889, and Deadwood is nowhere near North Dakota, sitting approximately 130 miles South of the North Dakota border. But, considering how few people seem to recognize that North and South Dakota exist at all, it's not exactly a deal-breaker.
The narration by Sean Duregger for the audiobook is fantastic, capturing the grit and cruel nature of Salem Covington with a degree of authenticity that felt right. The narrative, being shared by Covington in first-person, making it simple to distinguish the voices of secondary characters without any trouble.

bloody good time
One of the darkest westerns since probably Blood Meridian.
it's a fast romp about a dark man who must collect souls. But now he's on the trail of vengeance as his mentor has been killed by a bunch of shit stains and Salem is gonna make them all pay.

Not What you Expect
I have to admit I normally do not listen to westerns but this was more as it was horror. Black Magpie (Salem Covington) is an inane brutal killer. It takes place in 1875 and has great narration. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you

IT'S A BLOOD-BATH!!!
When I began this book, I had exceedingly high expectations due to all of the hype I'd heard & thankfully I was not disappointed. Death's Head Press quite literally came out with their SplatterWestern series the same year that I published my 500+ page Western Horror dual novel "God Walks The Dark Hills Book I&II." Being a writer, something of an authority, & an obvious fan of the genre, I'd like to say that, "This book lacks nothing." Author Wile E. Young takes the readers of "The Magpie Coffin" on a wild ride. There's lots of killing, blood, and gore. It's great. Any awards that failed to recognize this remarkable book do not diminish it in any way, rather they diminish themselves. Any reviewer who is reviewing this as a Western Horror/SplatterWestern novella and doesn't give it an extremely high score - doesn't know what they're doing, or what Western Horror/SplatterWestern is. Absolutely fantastic! Wile E. Young, I greatly applaud you. "This book is fundamental in the revival of Western Horror literature." - I'm not stating that as an opinion, but a fact. I will continue to work my way through this series. I've heard wonderful things about several other books within it, such as "Starving Zoe", as well as others. Bravo!
