In a future society that has reduced most humans to drones, a musician launches a revolution that spans worlds, but pays a high personal price.

"Rearguard" takes us to a world where nothing is left but the living, the dead, and those are neither one. In A Tribute Anthology to Deadworld and Gary Reed, editor Lori Perkins has collected stories that take place in the Deadworld universe. Deadworld is a graphic novel series that started in 1986 (and continues to this day) that follows survivors in a post-apocalyptic world brought on by zombie attacks led by King Zombie. My story "Rearguard" was short-listed for a Scribe Award from the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers.

"Filtered" takes you into a brightly lit world of horror...

The bright sunlight showed the empty cars and buses driving themselves along. He inhaled the ripe, sharp tang of gasoline. Around him, footsteps approached and receded; bodies pressed against him, buffeting him. Voices spoke a dozen conversational fragments. He could not see so much as a single soul--no shadow, no outline, no ghost. To all appearances, he was alone on a deserted street.
He was terrified.

Desperados and yellow-bellies be warned: These ain't your typical westerns...

Written under the nom de cowboy of Jesse Allen Champion, "Hungry" is a story about Chinese railroad workers who encounter the horrifying legacy of the ghostly West.

This collection has been years in the making, shaped by dust storms, desert magic, and the stubborn tenderness of people who refuse to give up on each other. These stories walk the line between the uncanny and the deeply human, where spells are cast with equal parts grit and grace, and where the West is haunted not by ghosts, but by longing, memory, and possibility.

If you’ve been craving tales with mythic edges, sharp humor, and a heartbeat you can feel under your fingertips, I think you’ll find something to love here. I’m so proud of this book, and even more excited to finally share it with you.

Saddle up, step through the veil, and meet the witches.
