''Unicorn Western'' is a "reinvention of both the western genre and unicorn lore" created as a collaboration between Sean Platt and Johnny B. Truant, as a dare by Sean's usual writing partner, David Wright. Who says you can't do a western without doing a lot of research, especially if it has unicorns?

Marshal Clint Gulliver and his unicorn companion Edward had found peace in the small town Solace. On Clint's wedding day, before he could get "hitched" with her bride to be Mai, a threat is predicted to be heading toward town for revenge: outlaw Hassle Stone.
