When a U.S. Army squad massacres an Afghan village on bad intelligence, PFC Franklin Sims comes home plagued with guilt and a classified NDA. Then his squadmates start dying—violently, impossibly—and the thing doing the killing wears the face of his best friend. Now Sims has a reanimated corpse for an ally, an unstable police detective, and his Hoodoo-practicing mother as his only backup. There’s one question he can't outrun—when your crimes created the monster hunting you, do you deserve to survive?
Advance praise:
The trauma of war provides the thematic backdrop to Clayton Snyder’s compelling tale of supernatural revenge. A squad of soldiers returns from the horrors of the Afghan war only to find them inescapable. Fast-paced and rich in terror-inflected set-pieces, Red Sands is a crucial entry in the canon of military horror.
— Anthony Ryan, author of Blood Song
Red Sands will drag you down into the gritty red stuff of nightmares.
— Michael R. Fletcher, co-author of Norylska Groans
A relentlessly paced thrill ride that has something real to say about vengeance and guilt as it chills your bones off. Unputdownable.
