Backstreets is the second collection of short stories in the Tales from the Twisted Eden Sector series by Lyle S Tanner. The maze of seemingly abandoned buildings and narrow alleyways exists in many cities, but rarely are they so watched as they are here. People stumble in rarely and those that do are already in more trouble than they can handle.
While the backstreets may have once been a thriving community and a refuge away from the city where they could practice magic in peace, they've long since been abandoned. The few who do still use them are not the most pleasant, more likely to give you a deal on something they need to keep hidden away from prying eyes than show you they way out.
People stumble in very rarely, but those unlucky few that do are usually trapped within the labyrinth with no hope of ever escaping - at least, not unscathed.
Grab those side-irons, saddle up and join former Civil War sharpshooter Luther Henry for a ride into pure terror, western-style…think ‘Wild Wild West’ meets ‘The X-Files’.
