The Swamp Witch Jonathan Davis

A wendigo, a werewolf, snake people, vampires; Harriet Cassidy has hunted them all, but she needs help. Too long has she wandered the west stumbling across the next monster or nasty critters. Hoping for some direction in her crusade, the red-haired gunslinger heads east in search of an old monster hunter who goes by the name Ebenezer Abel. With nothing to go on but a vague telegram from her sister she hunts down the mysterious stranger. Finding herself on a riverboat on a course to the big Mississippi, she stumbles upon the man she seeks. He is older than she thought, and learns that he is fueled by puritan fanaticism. Instead of imparting his wisdom to her, he tells her of an ancient book that he seeks. He says it is a book that will wipe the world of all supernatural creatures. Intrigued by his offer, Harriet helps the puritan in his search. They don't have to look far as the tome is hidden on the very vessel they're traveling on. Finding this book is no easy task, the book has a mind of it's own, and it draws others to it. Corrupting them and turning them into otherworldly horrors. Harriet and Ebenezer have a shaky alliance as they seek out the book. There is more to the puritan's agenda than the book. Reasons that seem to lay with one of the passengers aboard the riverboat. The one they call The Swamp Witch.
