In 1999, master storyteller Joe R. Lansdale introduced one of the wildest, insane tales ever to fall into the steampunk genre, and it is now available in digital format. In βThe Steam Man of the Prairie and the Dark Rider Get Down,β follow the Traveler from H.G. Wellsβs The Time Machine as he makes one too many trips that transforms him into a ghoulish creature. Only a group of adventurers inside a giant tin man can hope to stop him from destroying the world.
Got a dose of laughs, action, blood-craving horror, and time-traveling robots? Youβve just been STEAMPUNKED!
As a bonus, this eBook also includes Lansdaleβs alternate-history story featuring Wild Bill Hickock and Buffalo Bill titled βTrains Not Taken.β
