"Death's on its way to this town and there's nothing we can do to stop it."

It's October 1st in Cowboy Cauldron, a dying Prairie town where it seems like you can't turn over a rock without something sinister popping out, and there's a month-long marathon about to begin. It's not a marathon of found-footage movies; it's a run of deaths and near-misses that will crowd the town's oversized graveyard and leave kitchen tables and school buses feeling awfully roomy. Things aren't looking good for Cowboy Cauldron: only one person knows what's coming, and he's just spent all night digging graves.

A dog tries in vain to guard an elderly widow. Teenagers plan a brutal coming-of-age tradition. An old man gloats over the elderly gossips whose seats in their usual cafe are unexpectedly empty. Old coins are put to sinister uses. A man vows to do anything to protect his children. And watching over it all is the mysterious Secret Keeper, but where his most recent memento came from and where he'll be getting the next one is for him to know and you to find out.

A genre-bending fright-fest that is visceral and playful in equal measure, The Dreadful Roundup is a trick-or-treat bag to delight the most determined horror fan.

About the Author

Rylee Lascelle is a short story author with a passion for the macabre. A graduate of the University of Regina's Media, Art, and Performance program, Rylee impressed his professors and inspired his friends with his work. He wrote his first short story after a literary encounter with Edgar Allen Poe, and Poe's Raven has cast its long shadow over his work ever since.

Adding to that a love of myth, ghost stories, fantasy, sci-fi, and The Twilight Zone, Rylee has created a fun and frightening concoction all his own. Keep an eye out for more stories from Cowboy Cauldron in the future, folks-because the toil and trouble aren't over yet.

Rylee Lascelle lives in Weyburn, Saskatchewan.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
