PS Gold Medal Westerns. PS On Words and Writing. Saturday, August 29, 2015. A Town Called Hell" (1971). Kino Lorber's Studio Classics has a lot of westerns on their current release slate, but none has been more tantalizing to me than Robert Parrish's A Town Called Hell. Aka A Town Called Bastard. A Town Called Hell. Spectral dread hangs over A Town Called Hell. A spooky and morbid atmosphere reminiscent of High Plains Drifter. And Django Kill . If You Live, Shoot! And Who Can Kill a Child? While the name...

Following up on the success of 'A Killing Kiss' published by the new ebook/paperback publisher, Number Thirteen Press, I decided to upgrade a Smitty story I started sometime back and turn it into a novella. The idea is to submit it to the above publisher again in the hopes they might be amenable to the idea of building up a fan following for my dark eyed killer. Why would he come?
