Virgil cleared his throat and patted me on the shoulder. "In the meantime, welcome to the Fraternal Order of the Knights of Charlotte." Dead Men who Cannot Die, Blazing Winchesters, and Legends of the Old West Everyone brought something from the old country. Grandfather's watch, and grandmother's china; great-grandfather's folklore, and great-great-grandmother's fairy tales. What is never discussed, however, are the undying characters of the folklore: nix and fairy, goblin and vampire, dragon and eldritch things who all came to America's shores in time with the rhyme of their tales. The Knights of Charlotte hunt those things, ensuring what came from the dark stays in the dark. Two of their knights have returned from the wild. Battered, bloody, and barely alive after West of Pale, Charlie and Samuel return to headquarters. It is time for one of the Knights' meetings, a reunion for old comrades. But two problems are waiting for them. First, their coffers run dry. Hunting folklore's refuges doesn't bring riches, and a rich man's inheritance has expired. Second, an old comrade seems to have returned from the grave, fire in his belly supplanted by a fire a touch more hellish. He rampages across the west, refusing to die. The Knights must ride out on one last quest... Dead West: Bond of Blood picks up where West of Pale and the award-winning short story "Dragonfly Shadow" left off. Also includes a bonus Carnacki: The Ghost-Finder short story!

Autorenporträt
J Patrick Allen grew up exploring the American West with his family. He climbed mountains, fished, camped, visited the family cattle ranch, and explored a castle. Author of the Dead West series, JP writes about the monsters we take with us. Every week you can listen to JP on the Rocket Punch Radio podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, and TuneIn, where he and his friends hold round table discussions about all things geeky. In 2016 his story Dragonfly Shadow was awarded Best Short Story from the Pulp Ark New Pulp Awards. When he's not hard at work, he and his wife can be found curled up with a beer and a book or game.
