About

Make your stories cautionary tales that highlight the dangers of monster hunting. Tell us of mistakes that can occur when planning is replaced by reckless action, or when weapons malfunction, or when information is held back from those that need it. Give us a story about what happens when a hunter is simply overmatched by a creature that they never really stood a chance against. Or, tell us of the worst cases, the stories that send chills through the hunter’s bones; tell us what happens when they are turned into the very things that they are sworn to destroy. Use Enough Gunwill conclude the Legends of the Monster Hunters trilogy of western inspired covers, so we will be looking for the absolute very best stories. Use Enough Gun is an anthology about monster hunters and their exploits. Send us your most action packed, most harrowing hunts. Let Leather, Denim & Silver (Vol. I) and The Trigger Reflex (Vol. 2) be yourguides. And, for this volume, you may include hunters that have been turned into monsters. The hunters must have either been human or are at least still partially human. Or, of course, the hunter may be fully human as in the two previous volumes. Just make sure that you include where the hunt has gone wrong. Any and all monsters are on the table, and the hunters may range from the classic, dark, gun-wielding stranger to a small child who traps demons with her mind. The story may end in triumph, or it may end in tragedy; the more creative the twist, the better.
