After a very unfortunate accident, a bounty hunter finds himself in a weird saloon, which operates as kind of the last outpost on his way to hell. However, when Satan offers him a last job on Earth, Smith can't deny - after all, the awaiting alternative would be very painful for him.

Therefore, Smith is sent back one more time in order to stop a bad guy named Quill. Already a bad-ass while human, Quill now is a demon-possessed monster ruling over town with his army of ghouls and the intention of releasing some ancient gods named the Old Ones into our world. Together with a group of survivors and a posse sent right up from hell, Smith takes on his last bounty hunt...

There were a lot of very weird but also witty scenes and characters in this book, and I loved Snappy aka Satan working as a bartender in his hellish saloon. The author expertly managed to create some powerful images in my head, and I could easily visualize each character as well as the typical western setting. The combination of western and horror worked very well together. The story contained a large portion of good old-fashioned shooting and fighting.

Towards the end, a number of new yet eerily familiar characters were brought into the story as support for Smith. But while they were an interesting bunch it seemed their only purpose was to die in one or another fancy way during the final battle, which thus was unnecessarily prolonged.

Overall a very unique and entertaining novel.
