Butcher & Blackbird

by Brynne Weaver

A darkly cinematic mix follows Sloane and Rowan from wary recognition into a bond forged through danger, competition, and a shared appetite for hunting monsters. Tense score pieces evoke their lethal game and shifting American landscapes; the closing songs turn toward the book’s macabre humor and the strange intimacy at its heart.
