Stories from the West that Wasn't
Four strangers find themselves within the desert town of Genesis. As they wait for a convoy to ride through, the play cards and share stories. At least one of them is bluffing about more than just their hand.

Cryptids, Cowboys, and Crime
This exciting supernatural Western is the debut novel of Avi Llio and is intended to be an introduction to the world of The Cursed and The Dead. An America where monsters roam free and the sins of a bloody past do not go unpunished. Join us won't you for tales of:

• The Lawman, an imposing, long arm of justice who does his best to battle djinn and vampire alike. With mixed results.
  
• The beguiling Mister Cross. Some say he is a trickster, some say he's a sorceror. To meet him is to know your life is about to change. Assuming you have a life when he is done with you.
  
• The hunter O, on the pursuit of a legendary animal, forced into helping a woman trapped in the desert.
  
• Snakebit and Pumpkin, two members of a convoy trapped between dimensions.
  
• A murder suspect who swears it was bright lights and grey people from the sky.
  
• Bigfoot
  
• Bandits
  
• Conspiracies
  
• Werecrocodiles
