A collection of tales in the fantastical west

Ballads for Bullets

Songs of the road, tales of the blade, and the hush before the gun invite you into a world where every legend is earned in coin, courage, and blood.

Step into the smoky warmth of frontier taverns and the shadowed depths of ancient woods. Ballads for Bullets gathers short stories and poems that blend the grit of the weird west with the wonder of high fantasy, weaving together adventure, loss, and the spirit of those who walk the world’s edge.

Meet Jesse Crane, a pale-eyed tracker whose revolver and wit are matched only by the ghosts that follow him. Ride with Thomas Danvers, a young caravan guard whose first solo journey is marked by supernatural terror and the secrets of his family. Stand beside Sir Alric and the Grand Company as they confront the Lich-King beneath the White Star, where victory demands sacrifice and the end of wishes.

Inside, you’ll discover:

Tavern ballads and drinking songs filled with laughter, longing, and the camaraderie of strangers sharing the night.
Epic battles and desperate duels where magic and steel meet under comet-lit skies, and a desperate wish can change the world.
Haunting encounters in the wilds as werebeasts hunt the innocent and ancient powers awaken, testing the resolve of those who face them.
Moments of quiet grace and communal joy as townsfolk gather to sing away their sorrows and celebrate the hard-won peace of their land.

Ballads for Bullets is a journey through a world where every song casts a spell, every bullet tells a story, and every hero carries their own wounds. These tales echo with the ache of lost love, the thrill of pursuit, and the hope that even in the darkest night, a single voice raised in song can guide the way home.

For readers who love Dungeons & Dragons, the weird west, and stories where legends are forged in hardship and music, these pages offer both the comfort of a fireside tale and the chill of a midnight hunt. The stories linger long after the last page is turned.

Raise your glass, draw your blade, and listen well. The ballads have begun, and the bullets are already flying.
