Young is from Texas, where he grew up surrounded by stories of ghosts and monsters. During his writing career he has managed to both have a price put on his head and win the 2021 Splatterpunk Award for Best Novel. He obtained his bachelor's degree in History, which provided no advantage or benefit during his years as an aviation specialist and I.T. guru. His longer works includes Catfish in the Cradle (2019), The Perfectly Fine House (2020), The Magpie Coffin (2020), Shades of the Black Stone (2022), Clickers Never Die (2022), and Dust Bowl Children (2022). Jeff Strand is the Bram Stoker Award-winning author of over 50 books, including Pressure, Clowns Vs. Spiders, and Twentieth Anniversary Screening. He has never participated in a railroad heist or been thrown out of the front window of a saloon, but he did visit Tombstone. Several of his books are in development as motion pictures...a slow and maddening process. He won the Splatterpunk Award twice and lost one other time, but the loss was to Jack Ketchum, so it's all good. He also lost the Bram Stoker Award to Peter Straub, Jonathan Maberry, and Stephen King (twice) before his eventual victory. Jesse Allen Champion is a native Texan and writer of frequent western-themed stories. From Texas to California, Jesse has worked at dude-ranching, theatre management, technical writing, and editing. As comfortable on a horse as a keyboard, Jesse's fiction remembers the Old West, with the tumbleweed going wherever it will and a man on horseback."
"PRAISE FOR EDWARD LEE ""The living legend of literary mayhem. Read him if you dare!"" -- Richard Laymon, Author of The Island, Endless Night, and the Beast House Chronicles Series. ""Edward Lee's writing is fast and mean as a chain saw revved to full-tilt boogie."" -- Jack Ketchum, Author of The Girl Next Door and Off Season. ""Lee pulls no punches."" -- Fangoria PRAISE FOR JOE R. LANSDALE ""A breathlessly paced, suspenseful novel, revealing the dark underbelly of cults, and people's enduring fascination with the supernatural. Populated by his one-of-a-kind characters, Lansdale, with his signature humor and empathy, peels back the layers of bluster and hype, exposing the seductive and dangerous nature of predatory sects."" --Kathleen Kent, author of The Dime ""The Donut Legion struck a crazy chord in my heart. Joe Lansdale employs his signature dark humor to shine a supremely strange and unflinchingly honest light on our present-day madness. Known for his colorful characters, Lansdale outdoes himself with this motley crew. Fingers crossed more Garner Brother books are on the way!"" --Eli Cranor, author of Don't Know Tough ""Joe R. Lansdale's The Donut Legion centers around a writer searching for his missing ex-wife with the help of his private dick brother and a wannabe journalist, diving headlong into the bowels of a flying-saucer cult and their sketchy donut shop front. It's a full-tilt blast, shot through with Lansdale's searching humanism and deft touch. His East Texas brims with weirdness. Vibrant and rowdy and just so much damn fun. I've lost faith in a lot of people and things and institutions over the years, but I've never lost faith in Lansdale's books, and this is one of his best yet."" -- William Boyle, author of Shoot the Moonlight Out ""As usual, Lansdale's prose is tight, he has laced his highly entertaining story with sly humor, and he has populated it with a cast of quirky characters. This time, they include a brutish, 7-foot-tall arsonist, a cantankerous sheriff, a loveable police dog named Tag, and a cowboy-hat-wearing chimpanzee who rips people's arms off."" --Bruce DeSilva, Associated Press ""Each short story comprising Hot Iron and Cold Blood: An Anthology of the Weird West is unique, carefully crafted, and memorable. A fun read from cover to cover."" --Midwest Book Review ""A fun, weird, horrific anthology as full of stars as the vast prairie night. It empties itself into you like six shots from a cursed gun. I had the best time reading it, and so will you."" -Andy Davidson, author of THE HOLLOW KIND ""Crack open this unholy tome and you can nearly see the heat shimmer radiating off every page. Hot Iron and Cold Blood beckons to those bygone oaters of yore, penned by the Devil himself. You'll never find a finer anthology of infernal shoot-em-ups this side of perdition."" -Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Ghost Eaters ""The history of the American West hides a multitude of sins--and fears--now on display in Hot Iron and Cold Blood. Weird and wild, this ain't your grandmama's Gunsmoke."" -Alma Katsu, author of The Hunger ""Weird Horror and Western Horror fans alike, you need this anthology! Begin your read and prepare to get lost in the dust and gunfire."" -Erica Robyn Reads ""HOT IRON AND COLD BLOOD puts the weird in the Wild West with this no-holds barred anthology of lore, legend, and lewdness. Settle into your saddle as the all-star author line-up spins fifteen tales of blood-soaked terror about those days of olde."" -Candace Nola, author of BISHOP. ""I had great fun with this anthology, which shows off the range and diversity that can be found even in the small sub-genre of the horror-western: strange, hilarious, pulpy, eerie, mysterious, even melancholy--each story is a gold nugget."" -Dan Chaon, author of SLEEPWALK ""Hot Iron and Cold Blood is brutal and magical, familiar and strange. If you want a good Western with something unexplained and extraordinary, this is the anthology for you."" -Mercedes M. Yardley, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Little Dead Red and Fracture. ""Hot Iron and Cold Blood assembles a versatile outlaw gang of writers, each of them bringing suspense, horror, and bloody mayhem to the page. From Owl Goingback's tale of dark magic, to Brennan LaFaro's terrifying manifestation of regret; from Vivian Kasley's story of vengeance, to Joe R. Lansdale's Reverend Mercer facing off against a creature of the night, this collection plays with genre tropes while twisting them into something new--a genre unto itself, where the past is simply an untold story written in blood."" -Tyler Jones, author of Midas and Burn the Plans ""A cattle drive straight to hell, Hot Iron And Cold Blood loops a hangman's noose around your neck and drags you kicking and screaming through the bloody dust. The weird west has never been so enthralling and terrifying."" -Trevor Henderson, horror artist, author of Scarewaves"
