The Escapement

This unique, imaginative, and fantastical literary-Western recounts the journey of the Stranger, a lone gunslinger riding through an alternate-reality dreamscape. The Stranger seeks a mythical flower with curative powers, and he is undeterred by symbol-storms, double-crosses, gun battles, a train heist, and a timeless war between archetypes and gods of stone and shadow
With influences as broad as The Phantom Tollbooth, The Stand, Gilgamesh, the Wizard of Oz, Greek and Russian mythology, and more, The Escapement will appeal to a sophisticated e audience of cross-genre authors such as China Miéville, Jeff VanderMeer, and Shirley Jackson
