Through His Blood, Redemption, Accepted for Publication

Written By Russell Mickler

Good news, everyone!

My grimdark western revenge story was accepted for publication in an upcoming anthology, Once Upon a Moonless Night: Tales of Betrayal, Revenge, and Redemption.

Totally exciting! I originally wrote this story for a Twist in the Tale competition. I reworked the story to remove its time travel elements and lean more into characterizing my protagonist, Jake, a man stricken with lung cancer and facing imminent death.

Jake wants to clear his conscience before entering the Pearly Gates. He visits a Catholic priest in Coyote Gulch, and his grim story is revealed in a confessional.

I’m so glad they picked it up! Thank you, editors of Once Upon a Moonless Night!
