Led to the Slaughter: The Donner Party Werewolves

Trapped in the Sierra Nevada without food, The Donner Party are led to the slaughter. After being manipulated and coerced into a string of bad decisions, the travelers, frozen and abandoned, find themselves unable to go forward or back, and are preyed upon by werewolves in their midst - the very people they thought were friends.

A tale of resilience, horror, and betrayal, the survivors of the expedition are hunted. But the human spirit endures.

As the creatures grow hungry and desperate, a showdown is born between the people struggling to retain their humanity, and the creatures seeking a massacre.

Told from the diaries of young Virginia Reed and others in the party, the truth is finally revealed.

“If you like your history with a sprinkling of killer lycanthropes, have I got a book for you. Duncan McGeary’s new novel, Led to the Slaughter: The Donner Party Werewolves, offers an alternate explanation for the cannibalism in the Donner Party, and is a welcome addition to the ranks of alternative histories.” ~ Steve Perry, New York Times Bestselling Author of Men in Black, The Mask, and Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire
