Review: Old Timey Western with Zombies
Rating: 4 out of 5

I received a copy of this story from the authors in exchange for a fair review.I found this story much more enjoyable than the first installment of "Red Dust," a horror short story series set in the Old West. I particularly enjoyed the antihero Griffin, the mysterious gunslinger who wanders into the dilapidated town of Little Rock and finds all sorts of action: a hot chica mamma, a blood fued, and zombies, of course. Griffin is great - he has a strong honor code that's tempered just as equally with an All-American "look out for No. 1" mentality. And of course, Griffin's bad-assedness is elevated by his sword-slinging abilities, his penchant for whiskey, and his ability to score with the hot babe. Yup, Griffin's got it going on. He even figures out who the bad guy really is and what he's planning to do, by page 25.So, great story, but much too short. Having said that, however, I do look forward to further installments in the "Red Dust" series.
