1 y separately published work icon Weird Wild West Part 3: The Freaks of Mojo County Ethan Somerville , Steve Carter , Antoinette Rydyr , San Francisco : Bizarro Pulp Press , 2019 19597545 2019 single work novel western

'On the hill overlooking Mojo Town looms the decaying edifice of the county orphanage, home to all the area's unwanted children. Brother and sister, Sissy and Zak Spindler, are paid to look after them and keep them safe. They seem to be doing a good job, for the youngsters are neither seen nor heard.

'Unwed mother Louisa Bigelow drops her newborn son Nathaniel off in the dead of night, and then leaves town in tears. One day she hopes to return with enough money to take Nate back and give him the life he deserves.

'But Sissy and Zak have other plans for the new baby delivered into their arms. In the dank basement of the crumbling mansion lies a freakish laboratory, where Sissy uses her surgical skills to corrupt innocent lives with a primordial ooze known as the Stuff.

'Mojo Town's unwanted youngsters have been transformed into horrific freaks.

'Only one child has not been affected by the Stuff: a fiercely intelligent boy named Bart. But Sissy considers him a failure, and treats him like a servant. Bart befriends little Nate, already affected and transforming into a cat-boy, and together they attempt a miraculous escape to track down Nate’s mother.

'But Sissy and Zak have a very long reach. Can Bart's brilliant mind help him and Nate to elude their evil clutches? Or will they be dragged back into the horrific plan Sissy and Zak have for the monstrous mutations they have created?'

1 y separately published work icon Weird Wild West Volume 1 Ethan Somerville , Steve Carter , Antoinette Rydyr , San Francisco : Bizarro Pulp Press , 2018 19597475 2018 single work novel western

'Imagine a wild west that isn't just full of cowboys and outlaws, saloon girls and gamblers. Imagine a wild west that isn't just cacti, tumbleweeds and rolling desert as far as the eye can see. Imagine a wild west of mechanical horses, mutant killer plants, flying dinosaurs, headless indians and fearsome zombie gunslingers hell-bent on revenge.

'Imagine the Weird Wild West.

'Six colourful characters, some not entirely human, embark on a perilous journey south from Sunbleached Plains to Kellyville. A dapper dentist, a southern belle, a wealthy madam, a retired banker turned gambler, an orphaned boy and a travelling body-parts salesman all trade their various stories to pass the time. Driving the carriage is one Zeke "the Freak" Sarandon, a retired soldier with more than one strange, nervous habit. Although he is an experienced traveller, and the only one insane enough to take the most direct route south, even he cannot prevent his passengers from each meeting their grisly demise, one by one. Hot on the trail of the coach, astride an ancient mechanical horse blowing sparks and belching out toxic clouds of smoke, is a zombie gunslinger, the risen corpse of a murdered prospector. For on the carriage is the one who killed him, and he must have his horrible, bloody revenge.'
