In middle school, Morgan finally broke away from incoherent clumps of algebra to fill a composition notebook with his first handwritten novel. Since then, he's imagined his own Skyrim rather than fumble through objective studies.

For reasons unknown to anyone, he somehow found his way into a trucking gig, and he now enjoys a day job hauling freight. When he’s not trucking or writing, Morgan spends his time dabbling in landscape photography, running Spartan Races, and staring at the mountains that surround his hometown of Harrisonburg, VA, in the USA, which provide ample inspiration for his fantasy novels. ...more

Read this book. I literally forgot to update my reading progress until after finishing this novel, and posting this review feels like an inadequate game of catch-up. I love character-driven dark fantasy, but even in this genre, a few novels stand out ...more

I like nothing better than a nice bit of dark fantasy with some monsters, mayhem, and magic. Couple that with pages of foggy coastlines, eerie moors, stormy nights, and you get a wonderfully vivid novel that deserves to be read on cool, rainy evening ...more

Morgan Shank and 3 other people liked Isabelle's review of A Low Country (Low Country Trilogy, #1): "I love having this series on my shelf. The covers are awesome! Seeing fantasy westerns always gives me nostalgic feelings for the G.F. Unger stories I used to swipe from my dad.

It usually isn't hard for me to enjoy a fantasy western. Give a story the best of both tropes, and I don't think you can steer wrong. In Bloodrush, we certainly have the intrigue of a fantasy story, with exotic magic, creatures, and characters. Diffe ...more
