Description
The "Good" in this story is the opportunity to meet one's God. The "Bad" is the fact that the town only exists for a day and then vanishes. The "Infernal" in this story is the fact that the town is in the middle of the American Midwest, which is a very dangerous place.
A weird western, a gun-toting, cigarrillo-chewing fantasy built from hangmans rope and spent bullets. The west has never been wilder. A Steampunk-Western-Fantasy from Guy Adams.
You wish to meet your God? the gunslinger asked, cocking his revolver, well now... thats easy to arrange. Every one hundred years a town appears. From a small village in the peaks of Tibet to a gathering of mud huts in the jungles of South American, it can take many forms. It exists for twenty-four hours then vanishes once more, but for that single day it contains the greatest miracle a man could imagine: a doorway to Heaven.
It is due to appear on the 21st September 1889 as a ghost town in the American Midwest. When it does there are many who hope to be there: traveling preacher
Obeisance Hicks and his simple messiah,
a brain-damaged Civil War veteran;
Henry and
Harmonium Jones and their
freak show pack of outlaws; the
Brothers of Ruth and their sponsor
Lord Forset (inventor of the Forset Thunderpack and other incendiary modes of personal transport); finally, an
aging gunslinger who lost his wings at the very beginning of creation and wants nothing more than to settle old scores.
