Omschrijving
From the acclaimed author of The Legend of Charlie Fish comes this engrossing retelling of Frankenstein in the Wild West--a horrific tale of gut-wrenching loss, undead monsters, shifting loyalties, and yet ultimately, of the bonds of an extremely improbable found family.
With The Unkillable Frank Lightning, Rountree solidifies himself as not only one of the best writers working today, but makes the case for being the best Western writer of our present century."
--C. S. Humble, author of That Light Sublime trilogy Catherine Coldbridge is a complicated woman: a doctor, an occultist, and, briefly, a widow. In 1879, Catherine's husband, Private Frank Humble, was killed in a Sioux attack. Consumed by grief, she used her formidable skills to resurrect her husband. But after the reanimation, Frank lost his soul, becoming a vicious undead monster. Twenty-five years later, Catherine has decided she must make things right. She travels to Texas with a pair of hired killers. But Frank is no longer a monster. He has remade himself as the Unkillable Frank Lightning, traveling with the Wild West Show. With his signature lean, clean prose reminiscent of Raymond Chandler, Josh Rountree (The Legend of Charlie Fish) has penned a Frankenstein-inspired tale unlike any other. With equal parts Cormac McCarthy and Stephen Graham Jones, Rountree coalesces myth and legend into a dramatic tale of love, death, and its terrible aftermath.
