In spirit, TRADE YOUR COFFIN FOR A GUN is a penny dreadful for this era. If you go back and read some of these awful/awesome little slabs of sick, you'd be surprised how off hook insane and yet engaging they were.
Some are still available either online in crappy reprints or via torrent. "Varney the Vampire", "The Black Bend", "Black Bess" and "The String of Pearls".
A good overview of the "penny dreadful" genre.

TRADE YER COFFIN FOR A GUN
Officially announcing my next project: TRADE YER COFFIN FOR A GUN.
TRADE YER COFFIN FOR A GUN takes my setting of Little Dixie (AKA a stylized, somewhat fictionalized southeastern Oklahoma) and transported to a Wild West setting of the late 1860s. TYCFG centers around a trio of sibling monster hunters, one, a gunfighter in possession of a pair of cursed Colt revolvers, a mute sword-master, and a mysterious girl obsessed with the dark magick of forgotten gods. Together they travel the badlands of Oklahoma and Texas in search of tracking down and eliminating unnatural bounties. One bounty in particular guides them into a living nightmare even they are unprepared for, trapping them in a land where corpses come to life, dead gods breathe, and an old vendetta returns.
Part ode to the spaghetti westerns of Sergio Leone and Sergio Corbucci, throw in a strong side order of Lovecraftian horror, topped off with a slice of B-Movie insanity as only I can cook up. TRADE YER COFFIN FOR A GUN is sure to both terrify and tickle your funny bits.
Possible release set for late 2016 via Muzzleland Press.
