PHANTOM LIMB by Shane Montgomery
Author: Shane Montgomery
An LAPD narcotics officer-turned-personal bodyguard, a troubled epileptic psychic and an enigmatic shaman~ trying to outrun their pasts… A paranormal scientist and cameraman, just trying to do their jobs: the cast of a reality show investigating hauntings and unsolved murders in Redemption, Arizona~ a ghost mining town. Together, they confront restless spirits, and manifest the tragic lives of Red Morrison and Rosie Rodriquez, star-crossed lovers connected to the town’s bloody past. A ghost dance in the desert, a Tarot reading and a burning chapel summon visions of vengeful shamans who called on demonic forces to curse the land that the white man had taken. Though the gold is gone, the curse still lingers, stirring up winged shades and demons who take form by consuming the flesh and blood of the living. Now the cast must confront not only their own demons but the demons cursing the land.
“Shane Montgomery takes us on a wild ride down the winding and dangerous road to redemption, proving there are some demons we can’t outrun.”
– Scott Nicholson, Bram Stoker finalist for his debut novel The Red Church and international bestselling author
“Shane Montgomery is a master storyteller, whose crisp, deep and evocative prose will keep you turning pages for the artistry of her voice alone, even as the story draws you in with breathtaking intensity.”
– David Ferrell, author of Screwball, Pulitzer Prize nominee, and former staff writer at the Los Angeles Times
“At times, harrowing and disturbing, Phantom Limb is an extraordinary debut that delivers more heat than Kentucky moonshine. From the snappy dialogue to the serious, energetic prose, Shane Montgomery’s vision is one of salvation and deliverance. Get used to the name. This eloquent new voice is destined to be around a long time.”
