Blood in the Sandstone

Utah hides its horrors well.

Beyond the postcard landscapes and towering red cliffs lie abandoned mining towns, forgotten highways, ancient canyons, lonely deserts, and secrets buried deep beneath the sandstone. In these isolated places, legends refuse to die, faith can become terrifying, and some places are better left unexplored.

Blood in the Sandstone is a collection of horror stories from Utah writers, each exploring a darker side of the Beehive State. Within these pages, supernatural terrors haunt the landscape, psychological horrors take root, monsters lurk in the desert, and Utah's history, folklore, and culture become the foundation for nightmares.

From remote stretches of wilderness to communities where something isn't quite right, these stories transform the beauty and isolation of the American West into something sinister.

Whether you've traveled Utah's backroads, stood beneath its towering red cliffs, or only admired its breathtaking landscapes from afar, Blood in the Sandstone will make you wonder what might be waiting beyond the next ridge.

Because once the desert knows your name, it never lets you go.
