The Last Cash Laramie

Pulp Modern Number Four features my latest Cash Laramie story, "Merciless." This hardboiled post-western follows the Outlaw Marshal into the 1920s. Cash still lives in Cheyenne but the town around him has changed and not for the better. Men are soft and the beer is watered down. Then, to top it off, the seventy-year-old Cash is challenged by a young upstart who knocks down the famed lawman in the saloon he's frequented for the last quarter century. With a bruised ego, Cash limps home to an unloving girlfriend who's been hounding him to sell his memoirs for a few dollars. What's left? Well, a final showdown between the 'civilized' world and a man who knows how to be merciless. This story may be the last chronologically for Cash Laramie. I had a helluva lot of fun writing it with gracious help from Chuck Tyrell. And thanks to editor Alec Cizak.

Pulp Modern III

Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles are back in PULP MODERN III. "Legends," co-written with Chuck Tyrell, features our antiheroes in 1920s New Orleans where Miles and his wife, Violet, run a jazz club. Two reporters show up to interview Miles about Cash Laramie. But the reporters aren't who they seem. They've been hired by the wife of the preacher who was killed by Cash and they're digging for information on the whereabouts of the outlaw marshal.

I'm very honored to be with this crew. My story (writing as Edward A. Grainger) is "The Wicked" and features an older Cash Laramie in 1911's New Orleans.

PULP MODERN

I really like the sounds of this:

Pulp Modern is a fiction journal that publishes exciting, genre fiction. Those genres include crime, mystery, horror, fantasy and westerns. Stories should be between 2000 and 5000 words. Longer stories may be considered for serialization.
