A Haunt for Owls

This novel, set in 1873 in the old West following the Civil War, doesn’t shy away from addressing internal struggles and the darkness of the human heart without God. Its oftenunexplored themes in Christian novels range from the effects of war, justice, moral relativism, madness, and murder to Indian religion. A trio of flawed characters, Doyle, Annie, and Harper, must face their dark pasts, fears, and challenging circumstances and decide whether to take justice into their own hands or choose to live God’s way.

Product Description

An unlikely trio is challenged by their dark pasts as they fight to make a place for themselves in the frontier West in 1873.  

Doyle Hill; his wife, Annie; and their ranch hand, Harper, are scratching out a future on arid, unforgiving ranchland when a seemingly mythical evil descends upon the high desert. A series of grisly murders—each foreshadowed by an owl’s cry—terrorizes the frontier community. Doyle, Annie, and Harper have no idea that the evil manifested is closer to them than they could ever imagine. 

Fear is a cunning enemy, and it takes Doyle, Annie, and Harper each down a different path. Doyle, plagued by his Civil War trauma, strives for control. Annie, terrified she will be forced to relive the devastation of her childhood, reverts to her Choctaw traditions. Harper, the victim of lifelong abuse, begins a steady descent into madness. 

This is a powerful story of three people coming to terms with the darkness of the human heart, the importance of trusting God, and the futility of man-made morality. 

Can anyone survive this harsh land, the unknown evil, and the terror of the owl’s midnight cry?
