    Summary

    The first time he saw him he was sniffling in an alley wearing a grubby once-white dress. Wolfwood had been on his own for about two weeks at that point.

    He had gotten some okay work as a farmhand for an old man, assisting with the thomas chicks. The pay was nothing but he got to stay in the barn and the chicks were fun to corral, eager little things.

    That’s what the boy reminded him of, a tiny thomas chick, crying and huddled in a corner.

    Summary

    During a game of cards, an older man spoke of his grandmother who’d seen a man that’d looked like a shooting star running through her fields of wheat and saltgrass, only to vanish at the town’s eastern border. From what she’d seen of him, he’d looked too sad to make a wish on, and she hadn’t much liked the idea of wishing on a dead man in the first place.

    The story hadn’t been much of anything. It certainly didn’t tie to the lake in any concrete way, and it didn’t mention July, and it didn’t have the tension that every other rumor did.

    But Nicholas finds himself in some stranger’s grandmother’s hometown north of July anyway, a couple hours’ ride up a highway that looked to be maintained only by the grace of God and hand-mixed pitch. It’s bigger than July, but that isn’t saying much. Its defining feature is a bar that markets itself as a Real Western Saloon, complete with swinging doors and a dusty piano that plays two hairs offkey to keep the tunes jaunty. What’d once been those saltgrass and wheat fields sport maize these days, and they stretch for yarz down the highway.

    When he breathes in, he can taste lakesand against his tongue. He presses it to the roof of his mouth as a reminder, as an omen.

    Summary

    Father Nicholas D. Wolfwood is appointed as the new vicar of a tiny island chapel a hundred miles from his home.

    He hates the sand. He hates the ocean. His only comforts have been hand rolled cigarettes from the market and his one friend, local bartender Meryl Stryfe.

    But he quickly makes another.

    -

    “Well, how can I refuse?”

    “Can’t. Sorry. You are now legally required to call me by my first name.”

    “Fortunately it’s quite a nice one.”

    Oh, no. Wolfwood might be in trouble here.

    Summary

    It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank. Where Vash, alone at the end of his road, is haunted by four spirits. (Well, one spirit. Four of one spirit. Though they're not really the same, it's more like--okay it's Wolfwood. Wolfwoods. Wolveswood. There's four of them.) Will Vash heed their (his? their?) message?
