David Cranmer's Beat To A Pulp Press brings us a fine collection of western tales, the bulk having previously appeared in his Beat To A Pulp online magazine as well as other venues. And even a pair of new stories from Kieran Shea and Wayne D. Dundee.Here's the line-up:1: RATTLER - James Reasoner: a Texas Ranger pinned down by an outlaw has a strange conversation.2: THE TRUE STORY OF BOY KALEEN - Patti Abbott: crime writer Patti lends her considerable talents to the west.3: TOO MANY CROCKETTS -Evan Lewis: a descendant of the legendary frontiersman finds himslef in a dangerous, and a bit of amusing, situation all because he wanted to cut the dust from the trail with a drink.4: LINE RIDER - Chuck Tyrell: a cowboy meets a mysterious Navajo woman.5: A DECENT MAN - Kieran Shea: a cowboy seeks the man who violated his sister and beat his nephew.6: DAY OF RECKONING - Matthew Pizzolato: the author gives us a tale of his outlaw hero Wesley Quaid.&: THE TIN BADGE - Wayne D. Dundee: a new Cash Laramie novella. His sometimes partner, U.S. Marshal Gideon Miles even puts in an appearance.Had a fine tie with this set. If you like westerns, definitely worth checking out.
