James Butler Hickok Stark has just returned from Downtown/Hell. He plans revenge on the Circle of Six who sent him there and killed his girlfriend, Alice. He was the first living man to enter Hell and when he left he seems to have acquired an inability to die. He allegedly is "a direct descendant of Wild Bill Hickok, the greatest shootest of the American west." "Harry Potter's a wizard. [Stark does] magic. [He's] a magician." He "might be the Tasmanian Devil and Angle of Death all rolled into one, but he doesn't know how to use a phone." For this he need Allegra...And Francois Eugene, an alchemist and friend. Is he Sandman Slim, the monster who kills monsters? This is a most irreverent tale of a nephelim and his determination to accomplish his goals regardless of opposition. He uses a veritas coin like a Magic 8 Ball, befriends unlikely entities, and would very much appreciate God's attention and intervention...if he exists.
"What's a miracle but another word for magic?"
Revenge is never what you think it's going to be. There's no pleasure and glory, and when it's done, your grief remains."
