The Place of Dead Roads - Thryft
The Place of Dead Roads - Thryft

Western adventure meets surreal existential quest.

If you're intrigued by a blend of cowboy antics and philosophical musings, "The Place of Dead Roads" could captivate you. It's a book that transcends genres, combining the gritty atmosphere of a Western with the avant-garde narrative you might expect from Burroughs. It's for those who appreciate a novel that challenges their perception of reality while offering a wild ride through a reimagined American landscape.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
