Synopsis

The Western town of Falling Rock gets a real dose of ugly when a soulless, dynamite-loving bounty hunter named Smith rides into town to bring back a bounty, dead or alive, and, in the process, sets off an explosive chain of events that send him straight to the waiting room in Hell where he is offered a one-time chance to absolve himself.

About this title

Review:

"Fans of Joe Lansdale's charismatic, genre-jumping storytelling (Fender Lizards) will eat up this collaboration with his brother: it's a whimsical save-the-world gunslinger zombie mash-up with a bit of black-winged Lovecraftian horror tossed in... [T]he ragtag team members-Smith, his horse, the saloon's 'girl for hire,' the town doctor, and the undertaker-achieve a smooth and high-energy dynamic as they use smart tactics, high carnage, and unlimited silver bullets to take down cowboy ghouls."-Publishers Weekly
