There’s more than one kind of frontier.
You won’t find the place on any map. It’s somewhere else, hidden away in a wondrous parallel reality of mystery, awe, and terror.
This both is and isn’t the “Old West”. They share the same stark and unforgiving terrain and exist in the same timeframe, primarily the 1800s. The people are generally the same hardy lot that left Eastern society for reasons spread as wide as the open spaces they sought.
But there the similarities cease. In Spirit County, for example, death is often not the end, but the beginning. Sometimes even the middle. Mythological creatures prove real...and deadly. Towns can disappear by daylight and return with the setting sun. And in that dark and turbulent dreamscape, where the rational mind can wind up gunned down in the street by its own fearful denial, there you will find that indeed there are frontiers far beyond the edge of not just human society but human comprehension.
In Welcome to Spirit County, six writers take their shot and then pass the revolver, each aiming to punch a hole through the veil of the senses to a different and staggering reality. Mount up and follow them if you dare.
