Deadwood meets Cthulhu in this wild and profane Western romp featuring zombies, werewolves, evil spirits, and one pissed-off gun-slinging preacher.


The Wild West has never seen the likes of Reverend Jebidiah Mercer, a hard man wielding a burning Bible in the battle between God and the Devil in an endless struggle he's not sure he cares who wins. All five of Mercer's adventures are now collected in one blasphemous volume laced with fast-paced action, non-stop humor, and spine tingling horror.


In "Dead in the West", a vengeful shaman curses the town by conjuring a seemingly-unstoppable army of the undead. On the "Deadman's Road," the taking of an ill-advised shortcut leads to a bees' nest of terror. "Under The Crawling Sky," a man stands condemned not for the murder of his wife, but for raising the Lovecraftian horror that killed her. A visit to "The Gentleman's Hotel" reveals why a woman is attacked by werewolves and left for dead in a ghost town. Lurking in "The Dark Down There," a mining camp faces off with a horde of cannibalistic fiends.


These supernatural tales of the old West that never was, from Joe Lansdale, the high priest of Texan weirdness, will have you heartily cheering for the good guys - if you can just figure out who the good guys are.
