High Midnight Drifter

by R.S. Pyne

HIGH MIDNIGHT DRIFTER is a box-set of two short stories:
'Give Me a Crucifix and a Colt .45' is a 7,500 word Horror Western short story with just a little more bite. When Josiah Cotton, owner of a struggling General Store in the town of Granite Ridge, takes in an injured gunslinger looking for a new start - he never expected an undead posse to follow. [Vampire Hunting in the Old West, book 1].
'Bring Me Some Garlic and a Gatling Gun' is a Horror Western short story of a little over 9,300 words. Miss Amelia Oldridge arrives to teach Granite Ridge's children their three R's but, in a town infested with bloodsuckers, the key to survival does not lie in reading, writing and 'rithmetic. The queen vampire has taken a liking to her. Can a storekeeper and a retired gunslinger with dark secrets of his own stop Amelia from joining the family? [Vampire Hunting in the Old West, book 2].

Nothing better than adding vampires to a western

While most towns have to deal with drunkards and gun slingers this town has vampires! Can't wait to read more!
