Praise for WATT O'HUGH AND THE INNOCENT DEAD
“Touching tragedy, dead-pan comedy and a time-roaming cowboy? Part three of Drachman’s epic fantasy series is indeed fantastic!” ―David David Katzman, award-winning author of A Greater Monster (Bedhead Books)
“[An] engaging tale of Western science fiction and amazing fantasy … Fast-paced, energetic and fun; a dime novel for modern intellectuals.” ―Kirkus Reviews
"The third entry in Drachman'sseries (after Watt O'Hugh Underground) dives right into a complex world of time travel, lost love, faith, war, and the afterlife. The titularRoamer -- a time traveler with cowboy flavor -- is hoodwinked into getting good and dead. He wakes up in the Hell of the Innocent Dead, a place of Chinese myth devoted to those unjustly dead whose murderers still walk free.... VERDICT: Genre mashup devotees should get some good laughs and thrills from this Western/adventure/sf/fantasy blend." ―Nicole Steeves, Library Journal
On the morning of Wednesday, September 24, 1879, I awoke in a prison in Montana.
I did not imagine that evening might find me sprawled beneath a great and ferocious sand crab on a rancid beach, deep in the Hell of the Innocent Dead.
But that is indeed where I wound up.
The moral, if there is one: never plan your day too inflexibly.
THE WAIT IS OVER: THE CLASSIC ADVENTURE CONCLUDES....
In this, the final book of the trilogy, Watt O'Hugh, the dead/not-dead, time Roaming Western gunman, travels the length and breadth of the sixth level of Hell, recruiting a shadowy army that might storm the borders of the Underworld, free humanity and the inscapes from the clutches of the Falsturm and his Sidonian hordes, and stave off the Coming Storm.
He'll need a little luck.

WATT O'HUGH AND THE INNOCENT DEAD BY
STEVEN S. DRACHMAN EXCERPT
The bar in Conconully was
naught but a desolate store room, abandoned with the change in the economy, and
not yet rescued by the tourists who would descend a few years henceforward. A
few windows let in the air and the starlight. Someone had lugged a makeshift
bar from town, and the music was lo-fi, a couple of acoustic guitars, a sax, a
flute. A lot of Roamers cannot tolerate amplification. The party was crowded,
but I realized quickly that the number of bodies grew and collapsed, like a
human lung. The room, a blur — partyers shifted as I watched; the past and the
future metamorphosed, smeared in space. How many Roamers would it take to
change a light bulb? An infinite number, because the past and the future is
always changing ‘round them.

His first novel, a Western sci-fi historical fantasy entitled The Ghosts of Watt O'Hugh, was named one of the Best of 2011 by Kirkus Reviews, and Winner, Best Fantasy Novel by Indie Excellence Book Awards 2012. Book 2 of the Watt O'Hugh trilogy, Watt O'Hugh Underground, was published by Chickadee Prince Books in 2014, to equivalent acclaim. The final book of the trilogy is Watt O'Hugh and the Innocent Dead.
A Time Travel Novel full of spunk.
I recommend reading the first 2 books of this story before you dive into the third installment. Quirky, interesting time jumps, and out of this time characters. Go on an interesting Journey with Watt, and his fellow comrades as they take on the levels of Hell....and try to keep their humanity.
