Hubbard's story was first published in 1940 at a time when westerns were commonplace. Will Murray (of Doc Savage fame) notes on the back cover blurb that supernatural westerns were rare. Hubbard's westerns were especially popular and this one was no exception. This reprint from Galaxy Press is the sixth western from the pulp era. The bonus stories are "The Gunner From Gehenna" and "Gunman!" I recommend all of L. Ron Hubbard's classic pulp westerns! Great fun! If you enjoyed this book you will also enjoy Cargo of Coffins, Golden Hell, Hostage to Death and many others! ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Every man walks with a shadow . . . but what happens when he acquires a second one? Just ask Brazos--a dead ringer for Jack Palance who's a cold-blooded killer for hire with blood on his hands and a posse on his tail. Desperate for cash, Brazos accepts $200 to gun down a local man named Brant. He'll earn every penny . . . but in the end there'll be the devil to pay. Because to put a bullet in Brant means putting one in his partner as well--an eerie stranger schooled in the black art of witchcraft. This is one killing that brings with it a deadly curse--and a second shadow. As Brazos is about to discover, the Wild West doesn't get any wilder than when a man is damned to live--and die--in the Shadows from Boot Hill. A note from L. Ron Hubbard, written many years ago, that could as well be addressed to you, today's reader: "Dear Range Boss: Four million of my words have been published in fifty different magazines. . . . Just now I'm larruping fantasy fiction more than anything else, though I've been writing Westerns for some time, too. Hope your readers like Shadows from Boot Hill. The Old West was superstitious in the extreme and . . . reeks with more fantasy than The Arabian Nights." Also includes the Western adventures The Gunner from Gehenna, in which a plot to steal a miner's gold reveals how a good man can go bad . . . and a bad man can do good, and Gunman!, the story of an aging gunfighter turned lawman who shows his town what a real man is made of. "A minor masterpiece." --author Will Murray No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
