The Golden Calf

By Josh Gaines

Japheth and Abram Dewitt, two impoverished adult brothers of the early 1900's, have acquired a unique young calf of otherworldly features named Dewey Dell. In this first volume of the Dewitt Brothers serials, the brothers are blazing their own trail across the treacherous Southwestern landscape in a race against the clock to meet the eccentric tycoon Obadiah Hawthorne, A.K.A. "The Big Man," who may just have use for a special cow such as theirs.

In the Dewitt Brothers serials, author Josh Gaines (known for his curious plots and the intermixing of genres) blends a concoction of engaging interpersonal drama in the old west, supernatural and metaphysical elements that go beyond the boundaries of our world and a parable-like story structure that gives a nod to Biblical narrative and American folk tales.
