"The Devil’s Up There," a weird and wicked western by Lee Ellis, comes tethered with his recent addition to the grim dark fantasy genre, "God Blood." Two stories from two worlds, both flavored with similar tones of mystery, darkness, and violence.

"The Devil’s Up There"

It’s 1884, the peak of the American cowboy era, but things run a bit slower in Canada. Jacque, a French immigrant, struggles to find purpose in a small Newfoundland settlement, but when the infamous American outlaw, Barney Black Hat, arrives with a bloodthirsty gang of criminals, his meager existence is swept into an adventure lethal enough to rival those rumored of the Wild West.

"God Blood"

Somewhere between seven days and seven hundred years ago, Sour Foot broke the world. There’s no way to know for sure, time broke along with everything else. Some say the world can’t be fixed, that Sour Foot can’t be killed, that a man without a soul can’t die. But Rogot has a plan, and he and his son will stop at nothing to reach Sour Foot, to kill the unkillable, and end his reign of ruin. Venture through a wasteland twisted by dark magic, undead monsters, and contagious insanity, where life and death are no longer opposites but a spectrum of cruelties.
