Publisher's Summary

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

The Wild West has never seen the likes of the 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. With its five stories laced with fast-paced action, nonstop humor, and spine-tingling horror, Deadman's Road is your ride to hell, in which a vengeful shaman curses a town by conjuring a seemingly unstoppable army of the undead; an ill-advised shortcut leads to a bees' nest of terror; a man stands condemned, not for murdering his wife but for raising the Lovecraftian horror that killed her; a woman is attacked by werewolves and left for dead in a ghost town; and a mining camp faces off with a horde of cannibalistic fiends.

Well written

Once I started listening to this book I realized it wasn’t the classic western that I was expecting! That’s why you should read title details & not just read title & look at cover picture.
Despite this I listened to the entire book. It was well written, you could visualize the scenes from the description!

A tangled yarn, darn good!

I don’t want to give spoilers, so I will just say this is one of the best “lone gunslinger” stories I have heard in ages. Lots of twists and turns, and terrific narration/characterizations by Stefan Rudnicki. 10/10!
