Abstract
The thesis is a portion of a novel, consisting of four short stories set in a fantasy version of the American Old West. These stories engage with myth and fantasy as a way of making sense of the unknown, as well as themes of identity, death, and resurrection. The introduction discusses the use of fantasy as an answer to historical or mythical questions, referring to works by Junot D¿¿¿¿az, Susanna Clarke, and Philip Pullman, and relates the concept of fantasy as answer to the stories in this creative thesis.
