Synopsis
Six-Gun Tarot is the first book in the twisted weird west world of the Golgotha series by R.S. Belcher.
Nevada, 1869: Beyond the pitiless 40-Mile Desert lies Golgotha, a cattle town that hides more than its share of unnatural secrets. The sheriff bears the mark of the noose around his neck; some say he is a dead man whose time has not yet come. His half-human deputy is kin to coyotes. The mayor guards a hoard of mythical treasures. A banker's wife belongs to a secret order of assassins. And a shady saloon owner, whose fingers are in everyone's business, may know more about the town's true origins than he's letting on.
A haven for the blessed and the damned, Golgotha has known many strange events, but nothing like the primordial darkness stirring in the abandoned silver mine overlooking the town. Bleeding midnight, an ancient evil is spilling into the world, and unless the sheriff and his posse can saddle up in time, Golgotha will have seen its last dawn…and so will all of Creation.
R.S. Belcher's The Six-Gun Tarot is "an astonishing blend of first-rate steampunk fantasy and Western adventure." (Library Journal, Starred Review)

Reviews
Keep an eye on Belcher because if this, his first novel, is any indication, he will be a must-read. The Six-Gun Tarot is nothing short of fantastic: a complex page-turner with philosophical, metaphysical, and mystical underpinnings. Placing his tale in Nevada in 1869, Belcher deftly describes a complex cast of characters and a setting so sharp you can feel the dust in your mouth. Beyond 40-Mile Desert lies Golgotha, a small town that draws its inhabitants from the unnatural: a store owner who talks to the head of his deceased wife, who answers back; a sheriff with the scars of a noose around his neck; a boy with a magical jade eye; and a townswoman who is a member of a group of female assassins. Besides the peculiar townsfolk, there is an evil brewing, and unless the undead Sheriff can defeat it, Golgotha will be no more. --Alison Downs
