S.M. Hulse has published two novels, both set in the rural American West and both concerned with how violence reverberates through small communities. Black River (2015) follows a retired corrections officer who returns to the Montana town where he was held hostage during a prison riot, only to learn that the man who tortured him is about to be paroled.

Eden Mine (2020) shifts to a small mining town where a woman’s brother has bombed a mountain, and she must decide what she owes him, her community, and herself. Hulse writes spare, deliberate prose about people facing moral questions that have no clean answers.
