Publisher Description

Saddle up for another Weird Western ride from acclaimed authors Joe R. Lansdale (The Magic Wagon, Bubba Ho-Tep, The Drive-In) and John L. Lansdale (Zombie Gold, Tales from the Crypt, The Last Good Day). This fan-favorite is finally back in print for the first time in years!


A short fuse sends dynamite-loving bounty hunter Smith straight to Hell.

Just when he thought his career was over, the Devil offers Smith one last job he can't refuse: return to Earth with a posse from Hell and stop the big, bad demon-possessed Quill from unleashing a horde of world-devouring Old Ones.


"A seamless powder keg of a collaboration, packed tight with wild, weird western fun." - Cemetery Dance

"Fans of Joe Lansdale's charismatic, genre-jumping storytelling (Fender Lizards) will eat up this collaboration." - Publishers Weekly

“For readers of horror fiction, https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/58971.Joe_R__Lansdale hardly needs an introduction – he’s written countless books like https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23341606.Paradise_Sky , won Edgars and Stokers, and wrote the novella in https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/134194.The_King_is_Dead_Tales_of_Elvis_Postmortem , on which the movie Bubba Ho-Tep is based. He and his brother John have teamed up to bring us Hell’s Bounty, a supernatural western full of gore, dark humor, and cross-genre mayhem. The devil, who prefers to go by Snappy, fills in Smith – and the reader – with the exposition. The demon that the big boss (Quill) sold his soul to is one of Satan’s own, an up-and-comer who is looking to go over Snappy’s head. To do this, he has taken some special words from the bowels of Hell to the town of Falling Rock, where he plans to open a portal that will unleash the Old Ones (yes, those old ones) into our Goldilocks universe. Even Satan won’t be able to deal with these Lovecraftian nightmares, and knows that all of reality would be ripped asunder. But rather than go to Earth himself, even Snappy has some cosmic rules to follow and has to sublet the job out to Smith. Providing him with a new horse, limitless silver bullets, and the threat of eternal damnation if he fails, he catapults Smith back to Earth to find Quill and put him down before the Old Ones can run rampant.
