Description

Eldritch horror and weird western themes collide in the dying years of a re-imagined American Wild West. A time when everything was stolen, blood was let, and society grappled with modernity. We follow Conrad as he explores the shadowy corners of the world in an attempt to outrun his family legacy.


Join us on another foray into a "Tales from the Dead West" episode, these are stand alone anthology stories from around the world of the Dead West. In this episode Pinkerton Agent, Penelope Bancroft, heads deep into the Sierra Nevada Mountains to look for a team of missing agents. Little does she know that in those mountains she will learn what "surviving at all costs" really means.

  • Forced cannibalism
  • Assault
  • Blood and intense descriptions of gore
  • chionophobia
