I Travel By Night and its sequel, Last Train From Perdition, is everything I want from a Weird West story. It has a vampire gunslinger protagonist hunting down even worse creatures of the night. A vampire gunslinger villain can be fun too but I prefer when it’s the protagonist. As I mentioned in my first post to this community, the game Darkwatch is my favorite Weird West property and I’m always on the lookout for something similar.

My only complaint about this series is it’s only two novellas and they’re both pretty short. Both books combined into one novel is only 237 pages. And if you prefer audiobooks, both books combined is only 6 hours. Also, if you have a US library card, I’d recommend listening to the audiobooks on Hoopla. There’s no reason to spend your Audible credits on something so short.

Since these novellas are so short, the premise is pretty simple. The main character is essentially a private investigator and his business card shows his one rule: I Travel By Night. So he gets hired to investigate/hunt various creatures that are causing trouble.

If anyone knows of other stories with a vampire gunslinger protagonist, definitely let me know. I can never get enough.
