Trouble My Bones L Joseph Shosty

In a magical land where demons walk and assassination is exalted as a moral enterprise, Elihu the Poisoner must defend a gentle innkeeper from a gang of cutthroats with only tradition and etiquette as weapons. On Planet Whiskey, a train rockets towards the northern pole. Onboard, five men play a game of poker, but this is only the beginning of a breathtaking journey into a world of corrupt businessmen, hapless ice harvesters, and the wise, world-weary men in the middle, torn between doing what is right and playing along with an immoral system to get a bigger piece of the post-Earth dream. A couple of cowboys running a herd to Fort Smith, Arkansas pause in the untraveled wilds to offer tribute to a mysterious creature, and in doing so anger malevolent forces which lurk there. Trouble My Bones... A dazzling masterpiece of storytelling, this collection contains ten of L. Joseph Shosty's best stories. Here, you'll find pulpy adventure yarns and quieter, more introspective pieces alike, all with Shosty's unique blend of humor and thought-provoking ideas.
