Publisher Description
Margaret Killjoy’s Danielle Cain series is a dropkick-in-the-mouth anarcho-punk fantasy that pits traveling anarchist Danielle Cain against eternal spirits, hypocritical ideologues, and brutal, unfeeling officers of the law. The story continues with The Barrow Will Send What it May.
Now a nascent demon-hunting crew on the lam, Danielle and her friends arrive in a small town that contains a secret occult library run by anarchists and residents who claim to have come back from the dead. When Danielle and her crew investigate, they are put directly in the crosshairs of a necromancer’s wrath — whose actions threaten to trigger the apocalypse itself.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This punk anarchist postapocalyptic fantasy novella, sequel to The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion, sees series heroine Danielle Cain and her crew on the run. Stopping in a secluded town turned anarchist stronghold, Danielle and her cohort are welcomed by several of the town's undead residents and soon enmeshed in a war between the living and the dead. They confront a powerful necromancer who summons an otherworldly entity, wielding enough power to break down the barriers between this world and the next. Writing with superb energy, Killjoy captures both the human drama and the supernatural suspense in the breakdown of the known world. Killjoy creates a multifaceted magic without burdening the text with needless exposition, intertwining the human and magical elements in a tale that captures the depth of humankind's endless grappling with the everpresent specter of death. Fans will be very entertained and look forward to the next installment in the series.)

Dark Fantasy With an Inclusive Cast of Characters
“The Barrow Will Send What it May” is the second novella in Margaret Killjoy’s series featuring her protagonist Danielle Cain. It’s a direct sequel to the novella “The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion.”
These stories feature anarchist punk drifters who have gotten tangled up in occult magic. In this particular installment, they end up in a small dying tourist town near Glacier National Park. Oddly enough, they were given a ride there by a woman who died six months ago. They end up staying in a library run by a pair of anarchist and begin to trying to find out why certain people in this town don’t seem to stay dead.
These stories are 21st century dark fantasies with an inclusive cast of characters. The supernatural aspects are both familiar and different. They are interesting and absorbing stories. I’m hoping to see more releases in the Danielle Cain Series in the near future.
