Greeley: Seven Generations of Hustlers, Harlots, and Heroes

by Josh Langston

Greeley, Texas--a frontier town with a bad attitude and a reputation to match. Who lived in such a wicked place? Several compelling answers spring to life in this story collection spanning more than a century of life, love, and lust in the west Texas dust. Greeley plays host to seven generational tales, each focusing on a special time, not just for this hardscrabble frontier town, but for the entire country. The timeline stretches from the Civil War to the aftermath of Vietnam. Sin, it seems, never goes out of style. Some characters come and go; others appear in multiple stories, and some of the most memorable aren't even human. GREELEY takes readers on a tour they'll enjoy from beginning to end and leave them hungry for more. GREELEY also includes the first chapter of Josh Langston's fascinating new novel, OH, BITS! a paranormal mystery thriller set in Atlanta, Georgia, during WWII.

His plots are complex, interconnected and layered with humor and suspense; his characters are rarely predictable, and even his bad guys tend to be both engaging and diabolical.
