Shadows from Boot Hill

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 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

“"This audiobook contains three Western short stories written during the 1940s. The writing fits the genre, and the audio production is excellent. Voice casting is perfect for each character, music sets the mood, and sound effects complete the package. The title story finds a hired killer being haunted by the shadow of a voodoo witch doctor. "The Gunner from Gehenna" has a twist at the end that will make listeners smile. "Gunman" is a more traditional Western, with the right man winning the fight. Listeners will appreciate the voice acting as well as the realistic sound effects."”

"A minor masterpiece." -- author Will Murray

With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most enduring and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard. Then too, of course, there is all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology and thus the only major religion born in the 20th century.
