“Beautifully written.” – Donald E. Westlake,
three-time Edgar Award winner
“A bizarre and intriguing tale…” – Franco Nero, star
of DJANGO and FORCE TEN FROM NAVARONE
Nathan’s first short
story collection includes previously-published works from respected literary
journals (The Bellingham Review, Diagram, The Gettysburg Review, Glimmer Train,
Lemon Magazine) and a few never-before-seen tales, including the “literary
spaghetti western” novella, Jack the Bastard. Evoking John Cheever, Raymond
Chandler, and the Coen Brothers, Nathan takes the reader from 1960′s New York
to the modern-day Tex-Mex border, with some dark stops along the way.
Beautiful, haunting illustrations by four of the comic industry’s biggest names
(Phil Noto, Michael Allred, Russ Nicholson, and Tradd Moore) complement the
prose.
