A deliciously gruesome horror tale set in the old west. This isn’t John Wayne’s heroic old west. This is the real deal: a filthy, disease-ridden frontier populated by losers, lunatics, and murderers. And when you’re a skinny teenager with no family and a name like Chester Kates, your options are limited. It’s stand up and fight or roll over and die, so Chester, aka “Lady Kate,” is set to fight until it kills him. It isn’t much of a life, but it’s at least straightforward. Until things go all cockeyed when Chester is hired to ride his horse (also named Chester) to a ghost town and burn it to the ground. Except the ghost town doesn’t just boast a tidy collection of mangled corpses: it also has three living inhabitants . . . who won’t be budged. But Chester’s been hired for a job, and he’ll be damned if he doesn’t burn the town to the last cinder. Thing is, he may just be damned if he does. This horror-Western-mystery graphic novel will send a thrill—and a chill—down your spine. Funny, fascinating, and downright horrible, this is a book that keeps you turning the pages.

I go on a violent, bloody historical ride of gold and plagues to end up NOT AT ALL SATISFIED---and what's worse? I'm left with w...

Strange personal note: If that drunk artist I semi-dated in college lived in the old west, he'd be Chester. I liked how the story didn't give us the usual ending. It chose to keep its own mysteries and ambiguities. Chester stayed true to his own law. I have a feeling that although this is a quick r...

Odd hybrid of horror and western genres with some intriguing allegory.
