The Last Man by R L Swihart (1 Review)    Price verified 6 hours ago

For at least two good reasons, I've decided to rerelease The Last Man, my first book of poems, on my own: It has gone out of print -- both in paperback and via Kindle; and a few good readers (faithful, curious, random), missing it the first time around, may just want to "have at it." The look has changed a bit (minor changes in cover and text), but essentially it's the same book. I don't know that it's even me anymore, but certainly it was an earlier self. Half the poems I still have a fondness for, the other half I only half-remember.

His suspicions prove true when he's attacked by a Windigo--a human turned monster by a compulsive hunger for human flesh--and he soon discovers that a bad medicine charm is being used to spread the Windigo curse. The hunt is on to find the charm and the person using it before the town is overrun by cannibalistic monsters. Although the pieces of the puzzle come together to form an impossible conclusion, one which will challenge traditional belief and question numerous ritualistic items, Ice knows he must still reveal the truth. Because there are worse monsters than Windigos. In this fictional story of Native American mythology, male protagonist Ice races to learn the truth and protect local citizens from the Windigo.
