Steve Vernon

Rueful Regret Steve Vernon

Just pause for a moment and ponder over a tale that reads like a cross between Lonesome Dove and Twin Peaks. Bass Clayton is a bounty killer turned professional drunkard. Silver Grimes is the man who inadvertently turned Bass Clayton into a drunk - after Bass accidentally shot Silver's arm off with an eight gauge shotgun. Sally Jezebel has a secret that she is keeping from both of them. Their lives will turn when Newt Gallagher came riding into Willy Jake's bar on top of Pritcher Targate's prize sow. You got to ask yourself - just how far one man will go? "If Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson and Robert Bloch had a three-way sex romp in a hot tub, and then a team of scientists came in and filtered out the water and mixed the leftover DNA into a test tube, the resulting genetic experiment would most likely grow up into Steve Vernon." - Bookgasm
