Watt O'Hugh and the Innocent Dead

On the morning of Wednesday, September 24, 1879, I awoke in a prison in Montana.

I did not imagine that evening might find me sprawled beneath a great and ferocious sand crab on a rancid beach, deep in the Hell of the Innocent Dead.

But that is indeed where I wound up.

The moral, if there is one: never plan your day too inflexibly.

THE WAIT IS OVER: THE CLASSIC ADVENTURE CONCLUDES....

In this, the final book of the trilogy, Watt O'Hugh, the dead/not-dead, Time Roaming Western gunman, travels the length and breadth of the sixth level of Hell, recruiting a shadowy army that might storm the borders of the Underworld, free humanity and the inscapes from the clutches of the Falsturm and his Sidonian hordes, and stave off the Coming Storm.

He'll need a little luck.

“Touching tragedy, dead-pan comedy and a time-roaming cowboy? Part three of Drachman’s epic fantasy series is indeed fantastic!”
— David David Katzman, award-winning author of A Greater Monster (Bedhead Books)

“Watt O’Hugh will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page of Steven Drachman’s joyful, hilarious and smart tale. Much like the dizzy feeling I have when I get off the spinning teacup ride at an amusement park, my head happily spun through time and place. Drachman, or maybe it was Watt O’Hugh, made me an instant fan.”
— Nicolle Wallace, New York Times best-selling author of Eighteen Acres, host of MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House”

“If you gave up on the feasibility of a Western/science fiction mash-up when ‘Cowboys vs Aliens’ tanked a few months back, give it another try. On the page, at any rate.… Drachman revives the nascent genre with his rip-snorting, mind boggling novel … [T]here’s a lot going on in this teeming tome!”
— Peter Keough, The Boston Phoenix [on The Ghosts of Watt O'Hugh
