The Six-Gun Tarot

Nevada, 1869. Past the brutal 40-Mile Desert sits Golgotha, a cattle town with a good many unnatural secrets. It is the first book in the Golgotha series, a weird western that mixes frontier adventure with fantasy.

The sheriff carries the mark of a noose around his neck, and some in town believe he is a dead man whose time has not yet come. His deputy is half human and kin to coyotes. The mayor keeps a hoard of mythical treasures, and a banker's wife belongs to a secret order of assassins.

Then there is the saloon owner, a shady man with a hand in everyone's business. He may know more about how Golgotha began than he admits.

The town shelters both the blessed and the damned, and it has seen plenty of strange events. None compares to the primordial darkness now stirring in the abandoned silver mine above it. An ancient evil is seeping into the world at midnight.

The sheriff and his posse have to ride out against it. If they are too late, Golgotha will not see another dawn, and neither will the rest of Creation. The tone is dark and strange, with a large cast of oddities in a small town.
