Download or read book Coyote s Trail written by Edward M. Erdelac and published by Red Room Press. This book was released on with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1886. Geronimo and his followers, the last Apache resistance to white encroachment, have been transported east, and the blue wool defenders of The Fort settle into boredom, directing their cruel attentions to illicit liquor and prostitutes, their clearest enemy a weak officer’s bullheaded wife on a moral crusade. One broken and battered Chiricahua boy, Na-e-te-nay, drags himself across the Arizona desert, held together only by a bleak vision of revenge; a vision that will cause him to abandon his warrior traditions and set his feet on Coyote’s Trail — the road of murder and evil. After a brothel shootout between Na-e-te-nay and the US cavalry ends in fire and death, America, a broken young Mexican woman with her own reasons for hating the cavalry, finds herself pulled into his plot. Enlisting the nominal aid of Rogerio, a shiftless, sadistic whiskey peddler who knows more about America’s hellish past than even she does, the three conspire to draw Na-e-te-nay’s remaining enemies out of the safety of The Fort, using America’s body as bait. But America has her own vision of revenge… "With COYOTE'S TRAIL, Ed Erdelac has created a story as raw as the wound from a bullwhip. His blistering prose, combined with superb use of time, place, and character, gives COYOTE'S TRAIL the kind of life that springs off the page and into the reader's consciousness. That's a rare thing these days, and in the world of genre fiction, rarer still. This is a damn hard story about damn hard men, and told damn well." --C. Courtney Joyner, Author of SHOTGUN

Jotham hatches a plan to escape the camp and travel north, to find the only being capable of stopping Mengele from providing the Third Reich with a new race of undying stormtroopers; the only being on earth who will believe them ... Frankenstein's original creature. "Ed Erdelac once again proves a master of historical fiction, as well as seamlessly blending literature into reality." --The Horror Fiction Review
Download or read book What Is a Western written by Josh Garrett-Davis and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There’s “western,” and then there’s “Western”—and where history becomes myth is an evocative question, one of several questions posed by Josh Garrett-Davis in What Is a Western? Region, Genre, Imagination. Part cultural criticism, part history, and wholly entertaining, this series of essays on specific films, books, music, and other cultural texts brings a fresh perspective to long-studied topics. Under Garrett-Davis’s careful observation, cultural objects such as films and literature, art and artifacts, and icons and oddities occupy the terrain of where the West as region meets the Western genre. One crucial through line in the collection is the relationship of regional “western” works to genre “Western” works, and the ways those two categories cannot be cleanly distinguished—most work about the West is tinted by the Western genre, and Westerns depend on the region for their status and power. Garrett-Davis also seeks to answer the question “What is a Western now?” To do so, he brings the Western into dialogue with other frameworks of the “imagined West” such as Indigenous perspectives, the borderlands, and environmental thinking. The book’s mosaic of subject matter includes new perspectives on the classic musical film Oklahoma!, a consideration of Native activism at Standing Rock, and surprises like Pee-wee’s Big Adventure and Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax. The book is influenced by the borderlands theory of Gloria Anzaldúa and the work of the indie rock band Calexico, as well as the author’s own discipline of western cultural history. Richly illustrated, primarily from the collection of the Autry Museum of the American West, Josh Garrett-Davis’s work is as visually interesting as it is enlightening, asking readers to consider the American West in new ways.

And fearful, guilt-wracked Elim hopes he's only imagining the sounds coming from Dulei's coffin.

Renegade Comanche medicine men object to the newly-signed treaty with Theodore Roosevelt. They are venting their displeasure on two white men who are desecrating tribal territory in Wyoming. Geronimo must protect the men or renege on his agreement with Roosevelt. He offers Doc one year of restored health in exchange for taking on this mission. Welcome to the birth of American paleontology, spearheaded by two brilliant men, Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh, two men whose genius is only exceeded by their hatred for each other's guts.

After narrowly escaping the unbearable lich Brother Havóq and flirting with death herself, Lula finally gets her mitts on the Sleg of Assal. At long last, the key to busting her dad out of supernatural jail! But who would've guessed it would be a dirt-loathing, murder-happy weapon with an attitude sharper than its pointy end? As if that wasn’t bad enough, three shady hobgoblins are now hot on her tail, itching to grab the infamous weapon for their unsavory troll of a boss, Motherlode Mankiller. Meanwhile, Hattie's in a pickle of her own. A smooth-talking conman and horse thief named Knox has his greedy peepers on her ranch, and there's a little problem with the deed—namely, there isn’t one. Desperate for some otherworldly help, Hattie discovers the answer to her problem is in Tír Na nÓg. And now that she has the spear, Lula won’t let anything, not even common sense, get in her way from springing her dad from his mystical cell. Ignoring everyone’s warnings, these two stubborn gals gallop headfirst into the Otherworld. But getting there is a cakewalk compared to the horror show that's waiting for them. To face a creature too ghastly to imagine (or even get anyone to spill the beans about), Lula and Hattie have to dig deep for their courage and moxie. Can Lula find her father before the Morrígan—or something way worse—catches up with them? And can Hattie snatch the magic she needs to save her ranch from Knox's sticky fingers? In this potion-slinging weird west Celtic fantasy, the stakes have never been higher, and the chuckles never louder. So grab your hats, grimoires, and six-shooters, and buckle up for one hilariously hair-raising journey through the Otherworld!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the3 Books To Knowseries, our idea is to help readers learn about fascinating topics through three essential and relevant books. These carefully selected works can be fiction, non-fiction, historical documents or even biographies. We will always select for you three great works to instigate your mind, this time the topic is:Weird West. - The Mound - H. P. Lovecraft - The Horror from the Mound by Robert E. Howard - The Dead Remember by Robert E. HowardWeird West is a subgenre that combines elements of the Western with another genre, usually horror, occult, fantasy, or science fiction. When supernatural menaces of horror fiction are injected into a Western setting, it creates the horror Western. Writer G.W. Thomas has described how the two combine: "Unlike many other cross-genre tales, the weird Western uses both elements but with very little loss of distinction. The Western setting is decidedly 'Western' and the horror elements are obviously 'horror.'" This is one of many books in the series 3 Books To Know. If you liked this book, look for the other titles in the series, we are sure you will like some of the topics.

Book 2 in the Otherworld Outlaws series, an action-packed romp through the Wild West, loaded with living myths, dark magic, and bloodthirsty monsters aplenty. On the run from US marshals, Lula and her motley crew—Hattie, Toxicore, and Uncle Paddy, lately resurrected as a cat—head for Deadwood. Lula hopes to find Dagda's cauldron before the Morrígan or Brigid does, but sinister crows, diminutive dragons, and folks dropping dead from the unusual illness of being bled dry are just a few of the issues hindering her search. And now she has a bigger problem: her face is on every wanted poster from the Dakota Territories to Boston. Lula’s uncle once told her she was as pretty as a picture, but this isn’t quite the same thing. To clear her name, she would have to convince the law that magic and fairies are just as real as poker and horses. Not likely to happen. With her enemies closing in, she best find that cauldron before the law or the warring queens of the Tuatha Dé Danann find her. But finding the cauldron and taking it are two different things… especially when its monstrous ancient guardian has other ideas.
