The Arcane West. 

A barren land of rolling prairies and desert plains and ragged townships and distant mountains wreathed in snow. A country that brings suffering to all who dare venture through it. But there is wealth and promise to be found in the right places. Dreams fostered in the hearts of brave and foolhardy settlers as they spill out across the dusty wilderness. 

Who can find the strength to face the archaic evils of The West and who will be consumed by them? And with how the desert touches and corrupts all who walk it, is either a better fate?

Follow a watch-maker consumed by the mastery of his craft. A tobacconist with a gods-stricken fear of the moon. The old sheriff of a struggling outpost, outmatched by the threat of outlaws and the prairie's more ancient evils. As the lives of both settlers and natives are measured against the arcane hostility of The West, stories intertwine and coalesce and divide. 

What is the secret beating at the heart of the prairie's seemingly cognizant malice? And what is it all worth?All Rights Reserved

Queen of the Cowboys by BBrennann

Buchanan Oliver Thompson always believed he was destined for greatness-just as certain as the sun rose in the East or his father's company reported another year of record profits. The only problem was, life was too comfortable, too easy, to truly test his mettle. That is, until a woman came along. Or at least, a woman's wanted poster. Kristine "The Queen" Burnshire had been wreaking havoc across the expanding West, terrorizing the brave, unlucky families who sought fortunes and a new life in the rich, untamed land west of the Mississippi. Her infamy spread like wildfire, and the government wasted no time in placing a bounty on her head. Every man worth his salt was after Kristine Burnshire, drawn by the promise of money, land, and glory. Buchanan was no exception. But when Buchanan actually succeeds in tracking down The Queen, will he have the courage to bring her to justice? Or will the wild West break him, leaving his bones to bleach under the relentless sun?

Blood Bourbon by WiskeySins

A down to earth cowboy with a past is thrown into the supernatural world, when he falls for a vampire who has demons of his own. Daryl's a bullfighter on the national circuit, stretching his pay check as far as it will go between himself and his brother's farm back in Texas. He also has the misfortune of being incredibly unlucky in love and stumbles into the wrong bar trying to forget a night he can only half remember. The bartender tells him to not go looking for trouble, but amongst the dark shadows and beautiful faces, it finds him in the form of Ryker. Ryker isn't known for being a nice guy. He's got a line that most people would believe is too malleable, but he is one of the good guys. Always shooting off his mouth at the wrong time or getting himself into fights he should avoid (but can handle) he sees the cowboy and goes in search of a fight. But neither man is prepared for the battle of wills and emotions that ensue from their broken attempts at understanding whatever it is that draws them together time and again. The more Daryl is drawn into Ryker's dark world, the more obvious it is that the Cowboy's half forgotten past may be more related to the shadow games and machinations of the very agency that has been trying to kill Ryker and the rest of the supernatural world for decades now. Mature themes. Violence, Swears. (Based in the universe of @Whiskeyjanedoe 's Breaking series. This is a little more than a love story) cover by @whiskeyjanedoe
