From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hawkline Monster: A Gothic Western is a novel by Richard Brautigan written in 1974.
Taking place in eastern Oregon in 1902, the story concerns a pair of morally ambivalent gunmen (Cameron and Greer) hired by one Miss Hawkline to hunt down and destroy the supposed "monster" living in the "ice caves" beneath her house. Miss Hawkline and her servant/sister/other self (also called "Miss Hawkline") believe the monster to have killed their father, a scientist who disappeared while hard at work in his basement laboratory on a project only referred to as "The Chemicals," which would, he claimed, if perfected, be a great boon to the human race.
