RUSH (2021)

This Hungry Earth Reddens Under Snowclad Hills. 1899, Yukon Territory. A frozen frontier, bloodied and bruised by the last great Gold Rush. But in the lawless wastes to the North, something whispers in the hindbrains of men, drawing them to a blighted valley, where giant spidertracks mark the snow and impossible guns roar in the night. To Brokehoof, where gold and blood are mined alike. Now, stumbling towards its haunted forests comes a woman gripped not by greed -- but the snarling rage of a mother in search of her child... From Si Spurrier (Way of X, Hellblazer) and Nathan Gooden (Barbaric, Dark One) comes THE RUSH, a dark, lyrical delve into the horror and madness of the wild Yukon.

1899, Yukon Territory. Nettie Bridger's desperate journey to the goldfields of the frozen north has ended in tragedy. But Nettie won't believe it. Can't believe it. Her son is alive -- somehow -- somewhere -- and she won't stop hunting until she finds him. The valley has its monstrous guardians, and the miners have their secrets, and in this crucible of gore and gold the flickering flame of a mother's love is barely enough to melt the ice.

CHAPTER 3: THE TRAP 1899: Everyone keeps telling NETTIE BRIDGER that the frozen West is no place for a respectable lady. Lucky for her, she's neither. She's seen with her own eyes the impossible devils haunting the forests around BROKEHOOF, but the terror has only hardened her resolve. She WILL find her missing son, whatever the cost. But avarice and starvation make desperate men deadlier than monsters, and the wealth of this hungry land may prove just as illusory as Nettie's fading hope.

CHAPTER 4: THE CRIME 1899: Nettie Bridger is reluctantly persuaded to leave Brokehoof and abandon all hope of finding the lost son she's convinced is still alive. But in this accursed valley of perfectly circular boundaries, every road out coils its way back to the centre, where a great, ghastly beast lurks.

CHAPTER 5: THE THAW 1899: The beast is dead, an outlaw swings in hemp, and the thaw has come at last. And yet, Nettie Bridger feels as if she has sinned against nature itself, fearing some twisted taboo waiting in the cold earth to shatter every certainty and swallow her in darkness.

CHAPTER 6: THE WAKE 1899: Answers will be unearthed. Is Nettie's boy alive? What vile crime lies behind the darkness that festers in the bloody dirt of the cursed valley? And what foul beast, its hour come round at last, slouches towards Brokehoof to be born?
