Summary
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The passage describes a fictional duel that took place on New Year's Eve in the year 2000 between Two-Gun Bob and Wild Wolf of West Shokan. Full of absurd events and bizarre descriptions, the piece introduces around thirty colorful characters, each of whom is a reflection of someone from H.P. Lovecraft's environment, under meaningful pseudonyms.
