A resurrected gunslinger leaves a trail of corpses across the postтАУCivil War West in this grisly thriller by the Bram Stoker AwardтАУwinning author of Sunglasses After Dark.
Retired gunslinger Johnny Pearl has traded in his revolvers for the tools of a homesteader. HeтАЩs finally found peace with his pregnant, half-Cheyenne wife. Until soldiers from the US Cavalry, looking to avenge their defeat at Little Big Horn, kill them both, stringing up Johnny from a nearby tree.
Only JohnnyтАЩs death is not the end. A mad doctor, a former colleague of Viktor von Frankenstein, wrenches him from the afterlife with a special elixir and a bolt of lightning. Now possessing superhuman strength, mismatched eyes, and the face of a dead man, Johnny returns to his gunslinging ways. Astride another reanimated being, a demonic black stallion, he wonтАЩt stop killing until every man involved in the attack on him and his wife is six feet under.
And just when Johnny is ready to meet his maker one last time, he discovers a reason to stay undeadтАФand try to resurrect the man within the monster he has become┬а.┬а.┬а.
