The year is 1879, but the history is not our own. Everything changed on July 3rd, 1863, during the Battle of Gettysburg. The dead rose up, the shadows darkened, and a Reckoning had begun. Humanity’s worst nightmares now walked the waking world. Everything seemed to be heading to Hell in a Handbasket. Humanity, however, was more resilient than the Terrors expected. A secret war began between those who would stand against the Darkness. A few sturdy folks from all walks of life; from schoolmarms to nuns, from Snake-oil Salesmen to sturdy soldiers, children to old coots have risen up to stand between their fellow humans and creatures born in the very pits of Hell. Some were fated to fall, but others stood firm. For the next hour or so, sit back and listen to the stories of horror and heroism; recountings of the sacrifices these unsung heroes have made. Enjoy these “Tales from the Deadlands.” Be warned, however, these Tales are not for the faint of heart…
