Descripción
THE MAGIC WAGON has endured since 1986 as a celebrated classic Western and this legend is now available as a signed and numbered edition, limited to a single printing of 500 hardcover copies.
This release includes a brilliant introduction by the author “His Ownself” in which he reveals insight into his time writing the book, a rare Lansdale short story “Man With Two Lives” (a great companion piece from the same era as the book), all-new cover art and sketches by fine artist Charlie Bullock, and much more.
Already renowned for his work in horror and “splatterpunk,” Lansdale (the Hap and Leonard series, Cold in July, Bubba Ho-Tep) helped cement the Weird Western genre as we know it with THE MAGIC WAGON and several other titles beginning in the 1980s and continuing more than 30 years later to this day.
First published in 1986, THE MAGIC WAGON tells the tall tales of narrator Buster Fogg and the group of traveling merchant marauders he takes up with after his family is killed by a tornado. Their adventures take them through dank caves, across the countryside, and into Mud Creek - an East Texas town that would have made Deadwood look like the Land of Oz.
