Beschreibung

Sunset Maloney is taking a stand in the middle of a ruthless land grab, finding big trouble in the Big Sky country of Montana. Slim Trotwood is a cruel, greedy tinhorn—a gambler with little money and less skill—and Sunset’s the only man willing to take him on. Faster than greased lightning with his six-gun, there’s nothing can stop him from taking Trotwood down ... until he meets Tinhorn’s Daughter. Sunset falls hard for her, but if he can’t make her see the truth about her father, he may take an even harder fall.

FOREWORD

Stories from Pulp Fiction’s Golden Age

AND it was a golden age.

The 1930s and 1940s were a vibrant, seminal time for a gigantic audience of eager readers, probably the largest per capita audience of readers in American history. The magazine racks were chock-full of publications with ragged trims, garish cover art, cheap brown pulp paper, low cover prices—and the most excitement you could hold in your hands.

“Pulp” magazines, named for their rough-cut, pulpwood paper, were a vehicle for more amazing tales than could have told in a million and one nights. Set apart from higher-class “slick” magazines, printed on fancy glossy paper with quality artwork and superior production values, the pulps were for the “rest of us,” adventure story after adventure story for people who liked to Pulp fiction authors were no-holds-barred entertainers—real storytellers. They were more interested in a thrilling plot twist, a horrific villain or a white-knuckle adventure than they were in lavish prose or convoluted metaphors.
