The Book With No Name

The first volume in the Bourbon Kid horror/thriller series, The Book With No Name is a novel written by an anonymous writer. It was originally published in 2006 through Lulu.com, but has since been re-released through Michael O'Mara Books. The books center on a supernatural serial killer only known as the "Bourbon Kid". This volume was initially written with the intent to make it a Western novel, with the author choosing to move the series to present day partway through the book.

In 2015 Belga Films began working on development of a movie based on The Book With No Name.
