Tall Men and Other Tales: Modern Myths & Stories

By Stuart Warren and Greg Horton

From the Author of Spirit of Orn comes a new, sprawling Western mythology. In Tall Men and Other Tales, the legacy of the American West is alive and well in the lives of the very Tall Tales themselves! After a falling out, John Henry, Pecos Bill, Paul Bunyan, and Johnny Appleseed lead separate lives and are forced to either remain true to their roots or fall into obscurity as the frontier disappears forever. A novella in four parts, Tall Men and Other Tales affixes itself to the frightening reality of the modern age: one without opportunity. Can the heroes of American Yesteryear come together before it's too late?

Included in this collection is selection of Post-American short stories called "Other Tales." Featuring coma patients, super-intelligent factory workers, and black-ops pixies!
