{"product_id":"deadmans-road-9781596063303","title":"Deadman's Road","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Reverend Jedidiah Mercer returns with the re-release of the highly influential pulp novel  Dead in the West  and four stories  one never before collected  one brand new. Contained herein are the Reverends adventures with zombies  ghouls  werewolves  Lovecraftian monsters and kobolds. Western action blends with grisly horror and ribald humor for a super collection of shoot-outs and fang-outs  claws and crawling horrors  and lessons about an angry  unforgiving god and methods for killing nasties of all kinds.  In Dead in the West  the Reverend faces a resurrected American Indian out for vengeance. Not only is the man back from the dead  hes brought back others as servants  and they are angry  hungry little devils when there is an absence of light. Plenty of surprises  laughs  gross-outs and slimy horrors  with a slam bang ending. This novel inspired numerous writer to cross the West with Horror  Action  Humor  and a wobbly moral sensibility.  This first adventure of the Reverend sets up all the others  which include:  Deadman s Road. The Reverend  on his mission from God  encounters a ghoul who waits on a dark road for travelers so that he can feed his belly and his crippled soul.  The Gentlemans Hotel. The Reverend encounters a town  empty except for the lone survivor of a stage coach attack. Together  they face ghosts and werewolf Conquistadores who can not only transform into toothy adversaries  but also into dust and moths and are a real pain in the ass; all of it results in one hell of a cross-draw  dagnabbed  hair belly confrontation.  The Crawling Sky. In an isolated cabin the Reverend and an unwilling partner face a Lovecraftian horror with a nasty attitude and mind blowing abilities.  And finally  in The Dark Down There  the Reverend and an unlikely partner  a three hundred pound lady named Flower  battle kobolds who cannibalize miners and serve a Queen that at a glance could pass for spoiled tapioca pudding. The Reverend even manages a glancing chance at a kind of backwoods romance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45792396148789,"sku":"ByrdShop_1596063300","price":479.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781596063303.jpg?v=1784748494","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/deadmans-road-9781596063303","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
