Yee-Haw

Yee-Haw (2022)

YEE-HAW
is a collection of poems, mutant campfire songs, short plays and other small prose pieces, a 'Weird Western' and companion volume to the collection WEIRDLY OUT WEST, published last year by Black Scat Books.

It is priced very low, only $3.99 for the paperback edition and 99 cents for the ebook, because this is very much an offbeat project and not a commercial venture at all.

(Dedicated to Maithreyi Karnoor, Michael Moorcock and Kinky Friedman.)

"The West has always been the place where the sun sets best, and when it has slipped over the horizon it is time for the embers of the campfire and the blushing cheeks of the long riders to take over the rosy glow duties. And around this campfire songs must be sung and poems recited and tales should be told. The Honky Tonk Squonk, the Ghost Riders, the Biscuit Kid, the Robot Hobo, the Purple Sage, and many others. Then, and only then, will it be time for coffee, beans and dreams, and yee-haws that turn into snores."
