The Beast of Devil's Creek: A Supernatural Western Thriller (Zeb Clemens Book 1)

Deputy Marshal Zebadiah Clemens possesses an unusual ability: he cannot die. After the Civil War ended, Zeb traveled west to Texas intending to raise cattle and start a family. Upon arriving by train, a stray bullet struck him down. Believing he had somehow survived death, he abandoned his peaceful plans and became a lawman—one with a secret advantage. When Zeb moves farther west into New Mexico Territory, he encounters unexpected challenges. A mysterious woman appears at the edges of his dreams, and reports emerge of an inhuman monster attacking residents of the nearby town of Devil's Creek. Zeb finds himself drawn to hunt the creature, even as he contends with a dangerous gang of outlaws and searches for a missing boy whose mother, a waitress, has caught his attention. Uncertain whether these events are real, imagined, or the result of lingering effects from his head wound, Zeb must navigate these converging threats.
