Summary
"The cowboy apocalypse is a pervasive story replayed in books, film, television, videogames, and live-action-role-playing which blends the mythology of the American Western with doomsday prophecies in which the good guy with the gun is the messiah and God has nothing to do with the apocalypse"-- Provided by publisher.
