    About this ebook

    You don’t get a much more evocative opening than that for a Western novella called „Werewolf”, and the story lives up to both its title and that opening in ways you won’t expect from Max Brand who did write some fantastic fiction. On that bitter night Chris Royal walks into Yates Saloon to escape the storm where Cliff Main, gun happy brother of killer Harry Main, is looking for trouble over a girl both like. Words are exchanged, and there is the smell of cordite in the air. Cliff Main is dead and Chris Royal alive. At least until Harry Main comes to avenge his dead brother... It is a part Western revenge story, part tale of redemption of man and dog, part dog story with a rousing good adventure story set in the more or less modern West. Highly recommended, especially for those who love this genre!

      A Tableau Of Life And Death

      Dec 22, 2022

      When discussing death over an intimate candle-lit dinner with a former future-ex who said she’d like her ashes scattered on the River Blackwater I got my diary out and said: “I’m free on the 20th.” Turns out this was the wrong thing to say – I only m
