Grabbed the paperback to give a go, as this is perfect for Spooky Season. I love the author's shared universe of Devil's Hill, so I always come out and support, as I am doing (trying) similar with ‘Cemetery.' 
This novelette has some heavy content material and is deserving of a contents warning, although the dedication is a clear indicator of what's the come. Domestic disputes, trafficking, and assault against women. Due to the loss of a loved one, Jack Forest takes the law into his own hands, both for retribution, as well as his own sanity. This choice leads him to work for Satan. He dishes out judgment to those that seek to cause harm, and brands them for judgment. 
Even with this being a heavy read, it's also fun, at times even funny. As the afterward states, Reyes has created this Deadpool/vigilante/red dead redemption looking/acting-esque character. There are some laugh out loud, almost cartoonish comments made by the soul collector. 
Personally a 4/5*, I will read more when it comes out, and I wish this one was longer.
