Science fiction/western/erotic
short story.
Originally submitted to Playboy,
but Playboy
turned it down "...because of a fear that PJF would be accused of
plagiarizing a novel that he has never read, as it had not been
released at the time he submitted the story..." (Farmerage #2,
1978).
The title of the story has been based on an idea by Robert
Bloch, a good friend of the Farmers. Robert has been written
into the story as Bob Blotch.
DESCRIPTION:
This
is a somewhat odd, but funny story about two strangers visiting a small
town in Arizona. They go to a nearby ranch, but not for a vacation, as
the title suggests. The situation is something like Sodom and
Gomorrah meets Armageddon...
