First and foremost, Red Junction is a horror novel, because any time there are flesh-eating shamblers lurking in the woods for greater than two hundred pages--you've penned a horror novel. It's more than just that, though. This is an honest-to-God western saga. It's also crude, and funny as hell.
This is the story of a boomtown born of the Pikes Peak Gold Rush during the 1850's. It is a town where the construction of the brothel was completed before the doctor's office, and the sheriff's star comes with a death sentence.
In this wild corner of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, peace is only afforded at the whim of the violently entrepreneurial Rex Westman--rumored to be the ******* son of a Guinea prostitute and a grizzly bear. Since the town's inception his formidable will has served as sufficient guidance, but when cannibalistic ghouls start wandering in from the outlying mining encampments even the devil Rex Westman may fail to maintain order in his cultivated den of iniquity.
If I had to describe the novel while dropping as many names as possible, I'd say it's Deadwood meets The Walking Dead.
It's The Walking Deadwood. Plus, all the sodomy of Oz.

Anyway, there are some excerpts here, as well as a link to the Kickstarter page for those interested.
