REVIEWS FOR HELL'S BOUNTY
“A seamless powder keg of a collaboration, packed tight with wild, weird western fun.” — Cemetery Dance

“Fans of Joe Lansdale’s charismatic, genre-jumping storytelling (Fender Lizards) will eat up this collaboration.” — Publishers Weekly

“A whimsical save-the-world gunslinger zombie mash-up with a bit of black-winged Lovecraftian horror tossed in.” — Publishers Weekly

“Hell’s Bounty blends familiar western, supernatural and Lovecraftian elements to produce a terrifically fun pulp novel. The pedal hits the floor on page one and never lets up, mixing big action sequences, a couple of buckets full of gore, and that trademark Lansdale humor for something unique and comfortable and difficult to put down. Highly recommended.” — Blu Gilliand (Cemetery Dance)

“The Lansdales’ skill at blending Western and horror tropes seamlessly into one gripping adventure is very impressive…the ending is as exciting as you’ll find anywhere.” — Dave Brzeski (Occult Detective Magazine)

“A pulpy, supernatural western with lots of gunplay, walking dead, black comedy, and splat-stick…Entertainment is the name of the game here, and Hell’s Bounty succeeds in giving readers the necessary ingredients for a good time.” — Daniel Robichaud (Considering Stories)

“Drives forward hard and fast, guns blazing, hooves pounding, spattering blood and scattering zombie brains in a wide spray. It is a hell of a ride.” — Michael Channing (Paper Kingdom)

“Combines many elements to make a well-balanced story. Its characters are flawed and complicated, the action is intense, and the story is engrossing enough to keep you reading to the very last page.” — Matt E. Lewis (Horror DNA)
