Why does Radio Shack ask for your zip-code? Is there a secret war between The Wizard of Oz midgets and Freaks' dwarves? Why are government agents searching Texas bars for a certain mechanical bull that seems to be linked to a pattern of violent tendencies? What secrets lurk behind the Golden Arches? Why is a brilliantly disturbed entomologist constructing the ultimate ant farm? Why is Sam Evenflow groggy and drugged, clad in a cow-costume, chained in a slaughterhouse?
Sam Evenfow is a laid-back dude in dusty Rosebud, Texas. With his usual half-baked bravado, he stumbles into a PI persona and is hired by Noblerot—a newfangled Emu rancher—and cattle-baron Bloodlaw.
Evenflow's over his head, playing one against the other, trapped in a bizarre range-war between the two rancher's God-given vision of...Meat and the American West.
Meet a kaleidoscope of odd the fetching proprietress of a Chihuahua kennel; a Vietnam-veteran wracked by the flashbacks of other soldiers; Tiny Town, a trailer-park inhabited by the little people—cast-members from Freaks and The Wizard of Oz; a posse of English wranglers patrolling for cattle-rustlers that seem to be more than human; a cowboy-pitchman for a rugged Western cigarette brand who, when the cameras stop, is not what he seems to be; a Vietnamese boat-refugee, haunted by ancestral ghosts from the “forever war” who rev through the night on phantom scooters; the Mayor of Munchkin-land on a murderous quest to possess a certain, missing ruby slipper; an Amish hit-man, unraveling codes in his Book of Revelations that unveil a vast conspiracy, a millennial Armageddon....
The trail leads Evenflow to the Carousel Club in Dallas, where impresario Jack Ruby Jr. conjures the secret to the greatest conspiracy of the twentieth century....
All this and more is revealed in the vast entertainment that is Rancho Dementia.
