Some men head West to find fortune. Stanley Bannister came to clean up a legal mess-and wound up stranded in a desert town that barely exists. There's no map for Cracked Rock-just a handful of misfits, rumors of rattlers, and a cactus that may or may not be judging him. But something strange is stirring beneath the dust.

Waking up with amnesia, in a confusing and eerie place, the main character tries to piece together who and where they are. As they start to get their bearings, they realize they are not as alone as they originally thought, something else is lurking beyond the trees and bushes. Set in the mid 1800's American Frontier.

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

A young boy sets out to find and kill the man that murdered his father. The only problem is, the outlaw he pursues, by all accounts, was publicly hanged and buried years ago. He must discover how much truth there is behind his father's death, and whether or not he chases a horrifying reality or just another ghost story. The journey of vengeance may very well lead him to discover the wisdom of the old expression: "If you plot your enemies grave, then you better dig two."

"Night's heart was beating so hard he could hardly breathe. His thoughts were as chaotic as the reborn outlaw's demented caprioling. He stared at his hands. These were not normal hands. These hands could change everything." Night Miller had always been able to see ghosts. But, when a band of vicious desperadoes kidnap his adopted sister and leave him for dead among the wreckage of a massacred wagon train, the young Native American boy discovers another strange power awakening within him: The ability to pull spirits back into the mortal realm. Stranded miles away from any kind of civilization, Night realizes he must use this newfound ability to round up a supernatural posse if he has any hope of rescuing Hannah. A chance meeting with spectral outlaw Byron, former leader of the long-dead 10,000 Bullets Gang, then provides the boy with an opportunity he can't pass up. Night promises to help Byron and his slain comrades with their unfinished business, if they swear to ride with him in return. Will Night be able to keep his growing crew of wayward souls together long enough to get Hannah back? And how far is he prepared to go for the sake of vengeance? Because the further he pursues those who wronged him across America's wild landscape, the deeper Night finds himself plunged into a brewing war between terrifying, inhuman factions. One way or another, the boy will need bullets. Lots of bullets.

In a land ruled by reputation and revenge, one man doesn't speak unless it's already too late. And when he does-someone's about to drink something they shouldn't. _A Western soaked in smoke, myth, and the kind of violence that makes legends whisper._
