To fight monsters, you need a few devils.  In a time of blood and myth, humanity used its nuclear weapons to crack the world. In the year of blinding white light which followed, gods of death and cruelty poured through the gap and staked their claims, fueled by the relentless smothering of human lives. Two hundred years later, humanity has risen from the ashes. It is a terrifying new frontier teeming with outlaws, gunslingers, monsters, and demons.  But not all is lost. The Midnight Agency once stood against the darkness, and they have emerged to bring order to the lawless New West. A crew has been hired to deliver cargo to the last surviving museum of the old world-a captain with an ancient past, a skinwalker, a gunslinger who can speak to ghosts, a crippled sheriff with a knack for engineering, and a mysterious witch. But when they are pursued by a sinister killer with terrible power, their only hope is Kory "Diablo" Shaw, a teenager with a cursed pistol and a devilish secret, who has faced a death god before...and lived. In episodic form, Midnight Agency takes you on a rip-roaring adventure that is one shot of post-apocalyptic horror, one shot of dark fantasy, and all weird western. Welcome to the New West. Welcome to the world you deserve.
