Originally published in the excellent anthology, On
Dangerous Ground: Stories of Western Noir, Bill Crider’s very good
and very dark tale “Piano Man” is now available as a short story. Somewhere
near Fort Laramie in the year 1880 there sits a place known as the “Bad Dog
Saloon.” It is the home for a man who forsook nearly everything else because of
the booze. He is known as the “piano man” and most don’t pay any attention to
him in the corner of the saloon as their focus is on drinking, gambling, and the
whores.
Then, in the wake of a card game that went very
wrong for at least one of the participants he got an idea. It wasn’t a particularly
good idea, but it took over and slowly became an obsession. An obsession, much
like his obsession with alcohol, is going to change everything.
