Lizzy Stanton Books in Order

The Lizzy Stanton books transplant Estrella's love of monsters into a supernatural western. The result is a world of dust choked towns, long lonely rail lines, and a Church that fights Hell with consecrated bullets.

Lizzy Stanton is one of the Church's favourite gunslingers. When demons, necromancers, or other creatures crawl too far into the mortal world, she is the person they send to push them back. She has a fast draw, a stubborn streak, and a simple approach to evil. Put a holy bullet between its eyes and keep walking.

The Gunslinger and the Necromancer introduces Lizzy on what should be a straightforward job. A necromancer in the town of Pine Creek is raising corpses and drawing unwanted attention from things much worse than zombies. Lizzy rides in expecting a short hunt and instead finds herself dealing with layered schemes, demons that do not stay dead easily, and townsfolk whose secrets complicate everything.

The Gunslinger and the Train to Hell raises the stakes and expands Lizzy's world. This time she teams up with her brother Matt, another seasoned hunter, to investigate a mysterious train where passengers board but never disembark. Once they are on board it becomes clear that the train is more than a machine. It is a rolling supernatural trap heading toward Hell, filled with imps, hellhounds, and a demon who can turn every scrap of metal and wood into a weapon.

Both novellas are brisk, pulpy reads. Gunfights play out in cramped train cars and deserted streets. Demons bargain, mock, and occasionally panic when faced with people whose job description is "kill the things that crawl out of the dark." Estrella threads in sibling banter, questions of faith, and the awkward compromises that come with working for a powerful institution.

You can read either story on its own. Together they sketch a wider frontier where the Church's influence stretches only as far as the next telegraph line, and where a determined gunslinger with the right ammunition is sometimes all that stands between a settlement and damnation.
