The Greedy Grave: Tales of Inigo Hull - Paperback

by Cody Goodfellow (Author)

Inigo Hull is a bounty hunter in these five grimly powerful tales that meld weird fiction with the western into a distinctive amalgam. The Old West was a place where Americans, Spaniards, and native cultures all mingled, while they battled cosmic forces beyond their comprehension.

The longest of these tales, the novella "The Invisible Empire," provides background on Hull, who served in the Union army during the Civil War but then ventured west to seek his fortune. This story, taking place in Oklahoma, draws upon H. P. Lovecraft's imperishable account of the underground civilization of Tsath, as depicted in "The Mound."

In all these narratives, Inigo Hull uses both his implacable courage and his knowledge of the occult to do battle with the nameless entities that seek to overthrow human civilization in the New World.

Cody Goodfellow is the author of nine novels, including Radiant Dawn (2000) and Scum of the Earth (2019), as well as five short story collections, one of which, Rapture of the Deep and Other Lovecraftian Tales (2016), was published by Hippocampus Press.
