![]() ![]() Felicity and her maker are at the spearhead of a new vampire initiative and only Jesse and his small band of allies can stand in their way. Vampires use magic known as Glamour to hide their appearance and their lairs, so the Institute employs advanced science to weed them out.Īs the story opens Jesse and his mentor survive a devastating vampire attack on the Institute headquarters and come face to face with Felicity D’Albano, a new breed of vampire with the appearance of a teenage girl and the powers of a god. Vampires, also known as ticks, are a rampant, deadly menace, and the Rentiers and their agents hunt them down across the North American frontier. Jesse is a vampire hunter, see? The heir apparent to the Rentier Institute, a steampunk anti-vampire agency that seems analogous to the Pinkertons in Evil West’s alternate universe. It’s the same with pirates and vikings, but cowboys have a certain swagger that makes a dirty face, three-day stubble, and eight layers of leather plus a scarf and a massive coat look somehow badass.Īnd very few cowboys are as badass as Jesse Rentier, whose duster coat is actual armour and who uses a revolver that shoots lightning bullets. ![]() Even without monsters and werewolves and witchcraft, you can stick cowboys in more or less any story and improve it. It’s no surprise the subgenre has taken off either. And now we have Evil West from Shadow Warrior devs Flying Wild Hog. West of Dead, Ritual: Crown of Horns, and Weird West spring immediately to mind. These last few years we’ve had our share of spooky westerns. ![]()
