High Midnight


Ghouls, cryptids, homicidal clowns, knife wielding chimps and the best damn phantom bordello north of the border… welcome to Unity, Texas!

Sheriff Laredo Beaumont, former truck driver, hobo savant and ex-luchadore, along with his bonobo deputy Cicero are the sole law in Unity - a literal ghost town perched on the mysterious crater known as the Devil’s Outhouse - whose main economy derives from the spectral pleasures found within the Heskiaoff House bordello along with the Gallows Daughter Saloon (the last watering hole before exiting the American Dream). Whether corralling a pack of feral Chihuahua Yetis, giving chase to monstrous Thunderbirds or stemming the endless tides of sleep-walking dead – there’s no problem Sheriff Beaumont couldn’t handle either behind the business end of his trusted Colt or at the bottom of a bottle of Wild Turkey. But every man’s got his limits and Laredo has long reached his, retiring from the badge that bought him little respect and less gratitude. Ready to settle down with his beloved Sally Mae, a ghostly soiled dove working in the town’s infamous ghost bordello, Laredo has no idea that a cadre of murderous clowns are closing in… each looking to settle a long forgotten score with the infamous ‘Sheriff of Unity’.

A raucous pulp western for the 21st century, High Midnight is a timeless tale of blood and redemption set against a preternatural and post-apocalyptic Texas.

Well I hope you and yours will get a kick out of reading it!

No worries, though you were missed I did not lack for good times and good friends. Maybe we'll catch up during your birthday (which is right around the corner if I recall correctly).

Hope you shake off your 'plague' today and start feeling better.

He rode a blazing saddle
He wore a shining star
His job to offer battle
to bad men near and far
He conquered fear and he conquered hate
He turned our night into day
He made his blazing saddle a torch to light the way...

oh, wait. wrong sheriff. heh.
still, they're both raucous and timeless. ;-)

Now that I think about it, its been ages since I saw Blazing Saddles. Need to remedy that.

If Mel Brooks ever wants to do a luchadore and ghoul themed western though, I got a script all ready for him!
