BTAP #23: Spend It Now, Pay Later by Nik Morton

We’ve been honored at BEAT to a PULP to feature Black Horse Western writers’ Jack Martin, Chap O’Keefe and Ray Foster. This week we have another to add to the impressive line up: Nik Morton. Writing as Ross Morton, Nik's published work includes Death at Bethesda Falls and Last Chance Saloon, and later this month The $300 Man will be released.

For the Weekly Punch, Nik ventures into the not so distant future with a Twilight Zone style story where Emma James spots an ad:

LOANS - NOTHING TO PAY, NO INTEREST CHARGES. BORROW NOW, PAY BACK IN 20 YEARS!

If it seems too good to be true, read "Spend It Now, Pay Later" to find out why.

Next: “Oral Eruptions” by John Weagly

Coming soon: More Black Irish Blarney.
