Trapped in the Sierra
Nevada without food, The Donner Party are led to the slaughter. After
being manipulated and coerced into a string of bad decisions, the
travelers, frozen and abandoned, find themselves unable to go forward or back, and are preyed upon by werewolves in their midst - the very people they thought were friends.
A tale of resilience, horror, and betrayal, the survivors of the expedition are hunted. But the human spirit endures.
As the creatures grow hungry and desperate, a showdown is born between the people struggling to retain their humanity, and the creatures seeking a massacre.
Told from the diaries of young Virginia Reed and others in the party, the truth is finally revealed.
“Duncan McGeary is an accomplished writer who knows how to tell a great story.
Led to the Slaughter is a riveting tale sure to please the most
discerning reader.” ~ Mike Richardson, Emmy award winning producer and
founder of Dark Horse Comics
“If you like your history with a
sprinkling of killer lycanthropes, have I got a book for you. Duncan
McGeary’s new novel, Led to the Slaughter: The Donner Party Werewolves,
offers an alternate explanation for the cannibalism in the Donner Party, and is a welcome addition to the ranks of alternative histories.” ~
Steve Perry, New York Times Bestselling Author of Men in Black, The
Mask, and Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire
