Victor LaValle's 'Lone Women': A Novel Review.

Victor LaValle's new novel "Lone Women" is a horror-western that centers around Adelaide Henry, a Black woman who moves to Montana in 1915 to homestead as a "lone woman" after her family's secret leads to her parents' deaths. The book expertly combines adventure and terror while also addressing the psychological horror of family secrets. LaValle's refreshing take on the western genre centers around women and people of color, making it a welcome antidote to past westerns.
