✦ Synopsis


In the early days of the 20th Century, two gunslingers prowl the badlands of the American wild-west - guns for hire, professional killers whose only allegiance is to the highest bidder. Meanwhile, in the remote Dead Hills of Eastern Oregon, a mysterious Victorian mansion stands isolated from civilization. It is home to Professor Hawkline, his beautiful daughters, and the secret laboratory that lies hidden within the ice caves deep beneath the house. But something has gone horribly wrong with the professor's experiments and the monster he has unwittingly created is loose somewhere in Hawkline Manor, threatening the lives of all who live there. So the beautiful daughters dispatch Magic Child, a fifteen-year-old Indian girl, to hire the gunmen and rescue their father from oblivion. Sounds weird? You ain't seen nothing yet. This modern American classic is published to mark the 25th anniversary of the author's death. It celebrates Brautigan at his wry and gently understated, playful best.
