Deadlands
In an 1884 where the dead don't stay buried and fear itself is fuel, a fractured America claws through Reconstruction while secret warriors fight a hidden war against the Reckoners—malevolent spirits feeding on terror. The supernatural is real but not ubiquitous; most trouble is human, making the horror hit harder when it surfaces.
