Lynch: A Gothik Western

A resurrected gunslinger leaves a trail of corpses across the post–Civil War West in this grisly thriller by the Bram Stoker Award–winning author of Sunglasses After Dark.

Retired gunslinger Johnny Pearl has traded in his revolvers for the tools of a homesteader. He's finally found peace with his pregnant, half-Cheyenne wife. Until soldiers from the US Cavalry, looking to avenge their defeat at Little Big Horn, kill them both, stringing up Johnny from a nearby tree.

Only Johnny's death is not the end. A mad doctor, a former colleague of Viktor von Frankenstein, wrenches him from the afterlife with a special elixir and a bolt of lightning. Now possessing superhuman strength, mismatched eyes, and the face of a dead man, Johnny returns to his gunslinging ways. Astride another reanimated being, a demonic black stallion, he won't stop killing until every man involved in the attack on him and his wife is six feet under.

And just when Johnny is ready to meet his maker one last time, he discovers a reason to stay undead—and try to resurrect the man within the monster he has become . . .
