About West By God

Something’s not quite right in the quiet mountain town of Targrady, West Virginia.

Adelaide, a young journalist, is sent to report on a high-profile murder, but the case is anything but open and shut, and she quickly finds herself neck-deep in a mystery that could sink the entire town.

Join Adelaide in West By God as she navigates small-town secrets, a local crime syndicate led by the enigmatic "Fetid Queen," and the dark whispers of an ancient creature known as The Witchum Woman who prowls the shadowed hollers that lie between night and nightmare.

About the Author

West by God is based on author Tyler Bell's time as a crime and courts reporter at the Charleston Daily Mail in Charleston, West Virginia, where he wrote about small communities just like Targrady.

Before that, he completed three combat deployments to Iraq as an infantry machine gunner in the United States Marine Corps and then earned a degree in Photojournalism from the University of Cincinnati.

Tyler now makes a living as the writer and creator of the Westside Fairytales horror and dark fiction podcast, which boasts millions of listens and thousands of devoted fans.

He currently lives in Louisville, Kentucky, with his wife, his dog, and three rabbits
