A fantasy world that\u2019s explored through a constantly-updated website, a tabletop role-playing game, a web series, artwork, fiction, comics and much, much, more. A fantasy world that is shaped by its own fan community.<\/p>\n

This is Far West.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This anthology is published by Adamant Entertainment, and edited by Gareth-Michael Skarka.<\/p>\n

Credits:<\/strong> Sole author<\/p>\n

Cover by Rick Hershey.<\/p>\n

Notes:<\/strong> My own story, "Railroad Spikes," is a borderline horror tale that I can best describe as Saw meets The Great Train Robbery. Yeah.<\/p>\n

Also, I’m sharing a table of contents with (among many other worthwhile names) Dave Gross, Matt Forbeck, Chuck Wendig, and Scott freakin’ Lynch! *fanboy quiver*<\/p>\n
