Six Feet of Dirt

The Black Ledger is a grim western-horror chronicle set in the War for the Adamite Throne universe, following Elias Crowe, a hard, solitary hunter moving through the Western Deadlands where survival, memory, and violence are all tangled up with something older and more systemic than ordinary monsters.

The Layer beneath the Ash is the second Six Feet of Dirt chronicle, set about twenty years after The Black Ledger, and it shifts the series from Elias Crowe’s lone Deadlands resistance into a harsher world where thin order has been rebuilt by force and maintained by people willing to break themselves to keep it standing.

The book follows Duke Riggs, a Duskland Ranger and relentless law-enforcer, as he rides into the Redwater Divide on a burning warrant and begins hunting a spiritual-predatory force tied to doors, thresholds, ritualized violence, and a deeper intelligence beneath the land itself.

The Road Does Not Remember You is a bleak, stand-alone frontier apocalypse novel set in the Second Age of The War for the Adamite Throne, long after civilization has learned it will not be saved. The undead are no longer an invasion but a constant force of nature, guided at times by the patient and inhuman Varnhollow, who watch rather than conquer. The story follows three men walking the same ruined northbound roads, never meant to meet again.

Distance Between Graves is a later Six Feet of Dirt road chronicle that revisits the three recurring figures — the Boy, the Guard, and the Deserter — after years of hardening, loss, and adaptation. The book is less about sudden escalation than about what happens when survival itself becomes more disciplined and more expensive. The opening note and prologue make that clear: the dead have stopped wandering blindly, the roads have become smarter killing grounds, and the living now survive by measuring distance, pain, timing, and patience with much greater precision than before.

In the brutal southern reaches of the Duskland Republic, Georgian Province survives by grit, gunfire, and men willing to ride where law breaks down. In 3987 AC, the Georgian Rangers —an elite five-man frontier hunter team —are sent to investigate what should have been a simple high-threat beast contract after a ranch family is besieged by something unnatural in the dark. Led by the calm and deadly Captain Jorale Kane, the Rangers discover the truth is far worse than a rogue predator.
