One day every hundred years, a town appears, home to a doorway to Heaven itself. In 1889 the town's due to appear somewhere in the American west. Many hope to be there: Obeisance Hicks and Soldier Joe; Henry and Harmonium Jones and their freak show pack of outlaws; the Brothers of the Order of Ruth and the inventor of the Forset Thunderpack...
A weird western, a gun-toting, cigarillo-chewing fantasy built from hangman’s rope and spent bullets. Wormwood has appeared, and with it a doorway to the afterlife. But what use is a door if you can’t step through it? Hundreds have battled unimaginable odds to reach this place, including the blind shooter Henry Jones; the drunk and liar Roderick Quartershaft; that most holy, yet enigmatic of orders, the Brotherhood of Ruth; the inventor Lord Forset and his daughter Elisabeth; the fragile messiah Soldier Joe and his nurse Hope Lane. Of them all, Elwyn Wallace, a young man who only wanted to travel west for a job, would have happily forgone the experience. But he finds himself abroad in Hell, a nameless, aged gunslinger by his side. He had thought nothing could match the terror of his journey thus far, but time will prove him wrong. On the road to Hell, good intentions don’t mean a damn.
The thrilling conclusion to the Heaven's Gate Trilogy of The Good, The Bad, And The Infernaland Once Upon a Time in Hell.
