Living in a radioactive post-nuclear-war world, Paul never thought that his life could get much stranger or dangerous. But when he finds out about the dark secrets of the Feudalistic States of the Southwest and an android with a thirst for bloodshed and political power, it does just that. Also caught up in the plot is 67, a human lab rat who's life is entangled with the research and space department of the FSS. This project is a complete overhaul of my previous story, The Possibly Canon Adventures of Paul. I decided to do this when I noticed how well three other recent story ideas blended so well with it, and so, I've started a story in which the main similarities are some of the characters, and a few of its scenes.

A series of Weird West tales centered around song lyrics and titles.

The year is 1877. The reclusive vampire Lourdes has gone West to escape the temptation of the growing American nation; however, what he presumed was a pure land of only sky and sand turns out to be filled with vice and worse - more of his preternatural kind. And when Lourdes shoots dead a vampire preying on the closest thing to innocence in the Old West, a brothel worker named Katterina, he ends up igniting a war that puts himself, Katterina, and the whole of her little town in the crosshairs of a gang of vampire outlaws. To save the girl, Lourdes must do battle with otherworldly bandits, a corrupt priest, a cowardly sheriff, and the relentless desert sun. And, even if Lourdes can overcome these obstacles, he will have to protect Katterina from his own vampiric hunger. Lourdes's story threads a central narrative rich with gunfights and fangs together with interludes into the inner workings and underbellies of the denizens the vampire cowboy encounters on his journey. It paints a portrait of a lawless world which no longer exists, one in which the difference between good, bad, law, and outlaw is often no bigger than a grain of sand. "With Lourdes, Peter Tatara has delivered a well-crafted genre mash up and an unforgettable main character. Fans of Stephen King's Dark Tower cycle are sure to love this novel." - Robert Place Napton (Dark Wraith of Shannara, Son of Merlin, Battlestar Galactica Origins: Adama) "Tatara is to be commended for his remarkable ambition, talent, and skill, and I am quite positive this won't be the last we'll be hearing from this vibrant new author." - Joshua Ortega (The Other Dead, Gears of War) "Anyone new to the Vampire Western genre should most certainly allow Lourdes's odyssey to be their very first bite." - Matt Hawkins (FORT90, Attract Mode) Cover Design by Eric Maruscak - PepperInk.com Cover Photo by Olivier Le Queinec - Shutterstock.com
