Deadman's Road

De: Joe R. Lansdale

Narrado por: Stefan Rudnicki

Deadwood meets Cthulhu in this wild and profane Western romp featuring zombies, werewolves, evil spirits, and one pissed-off gunslinging preacher.

The Wild West has never seen the likes of the Reverend Jebidiah Mercer, a hard man wielding a burning Bible in the battle between God and the devil, in an endless struggle he's not sure he cares who wins. With its five stories laced with fast-paced action, nonstop humor, and spine-tingling horror, Deadman's Road is your ride to hell, in which a vengeful shaman curses a town by conjuring a seemingly unstoppable army of the undead; an ill-advised shortcut leads to a bees' nest of terror; a man stands condemned, not for murdering his wife but for raising the Lovecraftian horror that killed her; a woman is attacked by werewolves and left for dead in a ghost town; and a mining camp faces off with a horde of cannibalistic fiends.

Excellent

What did you love best about Deadman's Road?

Both old and new short and long Horror stories set in the old (weird) west.

The story of Deadmans Road and the horror encountered there. I had not read that story before.

Good clear voice, appropriate for the material

Who was the most memorable character of Deadman's Road and why?

Reverend Jebediah Mercer had quite a character

Any additional comments?

Some of the language and content is of an Adult nature and was a little crude but it was part of the story and not just for effect.

A good callback to the pulps

This book is a callback to pulpfiction stories and its a fine addition to Weird West genre. I loved the main character and their relationship with God. it made me chuckle, curious and sick all under 9 hours.

Worth a listen

These are great stories that are well written and well read. Fast paced and very enjoyable!

Good fun

Some really fun stories and the writing is really easy to follow its not pretentious though I think the narrator voice tends to blend together.

move aside Jonah Hex

wild west ghosts, werewolves, and a gunslingin' preacher! I would only love it more if there was more of it to love.

Just a good time!

This listen was just fun, it rolled in the horror and old west in a way that I really enjoyed! highly recommend!

mixed genre genius

I love the cowboy wild west mixed with the paranormal. the narration was awesome it made the reverend seem like he was a real person. I would reccomend this highly.

In Spite of the "Randy" Content - Entertaining

The forward by the author was a bit long, but it did helped me understand the stories better. Lansdale can write, and Rudnicki was perfect for this narration. There is a lot of "adult" content which sometimes got in the way of the stories. Still, as a long-time comic book fan and fan of weird westerns I can cut the author some slack on the adult content and horrible Christian theology.

so much fun

various stories of a stoic old west reverend
ghouls, ghosts, goblins. i highly recommend it

Loved It

This book is well written and I really enjoyed listening to it. I am a big fan of Joe's and have read several of his books, as well as watching the Hap & Leonard series. I also thought that Stefan Rudnicki did a wonderful job narrating. This book was just the perfect combo of good story writing, great characters, and talented narrating that makes this book great.
