DESCRIPTION:
Cowboys, Zombies, and The Old Ones Smith, a bounty hunter in the old west, is one mean and selfish SOB. He lets a prostitute get beaten from an inch of her life by his latest bounty while sitting downstairs in the saloon. While attempting to gun down Quill, his bounty, he blows himself up with his signature weapon - dynamite. The next thing he knows, he's in a hot place being served a drink by hell's bartender, Old Snappy. Not wanting to go into an eternity of misery and fire, he accepts a mission to come back to earth to help Snappy out. It seems that Quill's body has been taken over by a demon and old acquaintence of Snappy and earth is over. and a mesmerising long night with vivid imagery of a moon cleft in two by a tower… and there’s the villain that looked like a cr Yzabel [I received a copy of this book through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.]A crossover between western, horror and dark comedy, where a bounty hunter who blew himself up to Hell (literally) is recruited to prevent the end of the world. This mix is full of saloon pillars, hardened girls, flash-eating ghouls, not too clever zombies, and heroes (and foes) out of the Far West legends and dime novels. A bizarre and mismatched posse, and none is guaranteed to come out of this alive.I found this novel fairly weird: entertaining to a degree, but sort of straddling a fence, as if it never knew what it really. Lansdale delivers another fun Weird Western romp Chris The western town of Falling Rock is a dangerous place, full of drunks, greedy miners, and fast guns, the fastest of which is the sadistic Quill. Enter a bounty hunter named Smith, a no-nonsense gunslinger with a penchant for dynamite. When Smith tangles with Quill, he ends up blowing himself up and landing smack-dab in Hell, where the devil has a certain deal for him. See, Quill’s gotten even meaner of late when he sold his soul to a demon who wants to summon the Old Ones, a group of Lovecraftians baddies that would roughly bring about the end of the world. Even Satan can’t handle that—bad f
Quill wants to bring about the destruction of the world, not to mention the known universe, and hand it all over: moon, stars, black spaces, cosmic dust, as well as all of humanity, to the nasty Lovecraftian deities that wait on the other side of the veil. If the Western town of Falling Rock isn't dangerous enough due to drunks, fast guns and greedy miners, it 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--preferably dead. Someone Smith has already met in the town of Falling Rock. The demon that has possessed Quill, a former co-worker of Satan, has gone way too far, and there has to be a serious corre

"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 The 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
