    About this audiobook

    Short stories and three novellas by award-winning chronicler of the American West, Max Evans.

    Prolific writer Max Evans produced a wide-ranging body of work representing several genres. From among his numerous publications, Evans selected personal favorites for this collection, which spans most of his writing career. In addition to an essay about a maverick film director— "Sam Peckinpah: A Very Personal Remembrance"— this collection includes three short novels

    One Eyed Sky
    The Mare
    Old Bum

    and nine short stories:


    "Big Shad's Bridge"
    "A Man Who Never Missed"
    ” The Call”
    “ Blizzard"
    "The Ultimate Giver"
    "Sky of Gold"
    "The Wooden Cave"
    "The Far Cry"
    "Don't Kill My Dog"

    Through them all runs a common thread: the love and understanding that Evans had for the West and its peoples and his ability to convey that understanding with humor and compassion.
