Silas Danger can't stop running.
The year is 1975. Silas drives a red Pontiac GTO. Trapped in the back of his muscle car are the ghost of his sister Betty and half of the demon that killed her. He doesn't know how she died, and he hasn't figured out how to save her yet, but he knows that if he spends three days in any one place, the other half of the demon will catch up, kill him, and drag Betty down to hell.
Silas works as a scout, messenger, courier, herald, and sometimes spy across the weird, fragmented, magical world of Other America. Dodging bridge trolls as well as alien grays, lamiae along with snallygasters, undead blues singers and also bison-headed giants, he runs errands in exchange for information that will help him save his sister.
This time, he's hired to run a deck of Tarot cards from New York to San Francisco on a tight schedule. The first complication comes when the dame with the card deck won't just hand them over, she insists on coming along. The second is that everyone else in Other America seems to know that Silas has the cards, and everyone seems willing to kill to get them.
David J. West writes dark fantasy and weird westerns because the voices in his head won't quiet until someone else can hear them. He is the author of many short stories and several ongoing novel series including Cowboys & Cthulhu, #SAVANT, Dark Trails, and the Brutal Sword Saga under the not-so-secret pen name of James Alderdice. He is a great fan of sword & sorcery, ghosts and lost ruins, so of course he lives in Utah.
