An army of the undead is gathering outside the town of Boonesville. Thanks to a special medallion left to him by his father, sixteen-year-old Kyle McGerrt is the only one who stands a chance against Bart Shires and his ghoulish soldiers. But following in his father's footsteps won't be easy. "Charles Day brings a wicked sense of fun and a real talent for wild horror-fantasy adventure. Weird, crazy and totally enjoyable!" Jonathan Maberry, New York Times Bestselling author of Rot & Ruin and Fire & Ash "Day adds to the Weird Western genre, a funny, tense, surprisingly philosophical, and first-page-to-last fun, the likes of which we haven't seen since Joe Lansdale took us back to the early days of Mud Creek." Bram Stoker Award-Winner Gary A. Braunbeck, To Each Their Darkness and A Cracked and Broken Path "Charles Day has established himself as a maestro of the weird western. He's serving up the chills in this one, folks. If you're not scared by Charles Day's ghouls, you're made of sterner stuff than I." Joe McKinney, author of Inheritance and The Savage Dead "In The Hunt for the Ghoulish Bartender, Charles Day melds fantasy, horror, and the Old West into a macabre tale of justice, murder, retribution, and redemption. Young Adults of all ages should enjoy this very different coming-of-age tale." Patrick Freivald"Author of Twice Shy and Special Dead" "A rip-roaring weird western populated with fascinating characters, unique creatures, and a wonderful mash-up of genres. A fast-paced read sure to please young adult readers. I look forward to the rest of the trilogy and the further adventures of Kyle McGertt." --Taylor Grant, Award-Winning Writer, Filmmaker "Unless I'm dreaming, a city guy from Long Island has just delivered an authentic vision of the Old West. Only in Charles Day's West, the ghouls are lurking. I could smell the gunpowder and saddle leather just as easily as I could scream in fright. THE GHOULISH BARTENDER is now on duty, and his customers are running up tabs of terror." Eric Shapiro, author of THE DEVOTED and STORIES FOR THE END OF THE WORLD "In THE HUNT FOR THE GHOULISH BARTENDER, the first book in a new YA series chronicling the adventures of Kyle McGertt, Charles Day has written a wonderfully strange western novel, complete with dark mysticism and six-shooters and an overwhelming sense of peril. No doubt fans will be waiting anxiously for the next book in the series." Aric Sundquist, author of THE END OF AUTUMN "Young Kyle McGertt hunts the supernatural with the aid of visions from his father's magical medallion, and charismatic Bart Shires is next on the list. Will Kyle capture this diabolical fugitive, or will he fall prey to the ghoulish bartender? Charles Day takes his readers for a thrill ride with this exciting Western tale of horror and magic." Chantal Noordeloos, Author of the forthcoming, COYOTE, THE OUTLANDER. "New territory has been paved within the YA genre, and it's purveyor is Charles Day. Though a relatively short novel, THE HUNT FOR THE GHOULISH BARTENDER is jam-packed with pillage, guns, a wayward saloon, classic heroes, and a bit of blood. I'm witnessing first hand the evolution of Charles Day's writing, and it's wonderful." --J. Daniel Stone, author of THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT
