Continuing the epic of the hectored outlaw in the absurd landscape of the afterlife, Jesse James in Hell follows him through the American West searching for a lost treasure in the company of a bitter automaton, a mysterious violinist, the dead founder of a fraternal lodge who has been turned into a cat, and his sarcastic brother Frank. Other characters include Amelia and her baby, the buffoon Joey Turner, and a tribe of insane volunteer firemen. The massacre finale, based on a true story, will keep any reader at the edge of his or her seat consulting the dictionary.

Jesse James in Hell, an original mock-heroic epic in the voice of the infamous outlaw, begins in Nevada after the Civil War, but soon rolls forward without the constraint of specific time and place. "Direct account of past events takes no time with flattered facts- some has got the duty keep track whats took place, uninformed of the relative size or value of the vignettes- aint like buying Cucumber bushes- them whatre prone by fear or trainingtake the past with a grain of saltare damned turn into a Pillar of it."
