You will have already heard me bang on about how much I loved The Eldritch Kid: Whisky & Hate , but if you didn't, go read an come straight back. Luckily for Emmet O'Cuana and I, Eldritch Kid writer Christian Read spared some time to have a chat about The Eldritch Kid, Unmasked, his work on the MMO game The Secret World and eventually Young Guns and Penrith Panthers - World of Entertainment. Grab the audio after the jump!

Curiouser and curiouser. The Eldritch Kid by Christian Read and Michael Maier started off like Robert Rodriguez' From Dusk Til Dawn , at first I thought that it would be a straight laced Western adventure but within a few short pages, zombies attack. I instantly knew that this was going to be a crazy ride. "An old West where every myth and monster and magic is real. Ten Shoes Dancing is a shaman of the Lakota people and an Oxford scholar. Riding shotgun on a group of pilgrims heading West, he encounters the dime novel hero known only as the Eldritch Kid. Famed as a hero and champion, sadly, the Kid isn’t all he seems. But there’s bad times coming for the convoy, sour ground to cross, and the price Ten Shoes will pay for the Kid’s help might be too damn high."
