    Redemption Song - A Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter Short Story

    By John G. Hartness

    About this ebook

    This weird western tale is set in the Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter universe, and is a standalone short story. 

    A man steps into a bar. Cards stop flying across the felt. Drinks stop sliding down the bar. The piano player freezes mid-note. Trouble has arrived, and it wears its gun for all the world to see. 

    This atmospheric tale of love and justice has more in common with High Plains Drifter than with most Quincy Harker stories, but lives in the same world. Magic, whiskey, cards, cash, and bullets blend together in a creepy tale of revenge and redemption. 

    Redemption Song was originally published in Tales of the Weird Wild West anthology.

      Redemption

      Song

      Time stopped when the man first showed up in the Golden Grin Saloon. It was one of those between the raindrops moments, when everything fell silent for an instant, and everyone’s attention landed on the same spot. Big Bob, the piano player who took an Ohlone arrow to the knee that ended his trapping days, finished one Stephen Foster tune and began leafing through a tattered Dan Rice songbook for another song to play. The man stood in the doorway, hat pulled down low over his eyes and a long leather duster hanging well past his knees. He looked like a man who had been rode hard and put away wet—thin almost to the point of gauntness, and so pale one could see the veins in the back of his hands if they let their eyes linger long enough, something not many were inclined

      to
