"In his astonishing family portrait of American violence, Haints Stay, Colin Winnette makes use of the Traditional western genre to stunning result. But this is not a chummy oater penned by the likes of Zane Grey or Louis L'Amour. Winnette's frontier seems more Homeric. His knack for tapping into displays of primal dread and poetic violence assists as an indictment of the species' base mother nature and worst intuition. While the book flouts almost all of the conventions of the traditional horses opera, the rewards of Haints Stay belong to the audience." - Jim Ruland, Los Angeles Times "Striking and powerful... a Traditional western as reimagined through the transgressive lens of Dennis Cooper. What Winnette does indeed here's less about undermining the customs of the Westerns plus more about forcing them in sudden guidelines." - Tobias Carroll, Electric Literature "One of the most anticipated independent book of the summertime." - Flavorwire "Winnette's already razor-sharp prose is honed here to a razor edge. It rolls over the stark, lawless world he evokes like approaching thunder." - Midnight Breakfast Brooke and Sugar are killers. Bird is the young man who mysteriously woke beside them while between cities. For mls, there is only desert and wilderness, and along the fringes, people. The story practices the middling bounty hunters after they've been chased from town, and Bird, each in search of their own sense of owed and justice. It features gunfights, cannibalism, barroom piano, a transgender birth, a wagon coach, a stampede, and the tenuous climb of the West's first one-armed gunslinger. Haints Stay is a fresh acid american in the custom of Rudolph Wurlitzer, Kelly Reichardt's Meek's Cutoff, and Jim Jarmusch's Deceased Man: interpretation it is brutal, surreal, and possesses an unsettling humor.
