This collection of short stories showcases Steve Frazee's ability to cover many different themes while capturing the American West with impeccable historical accuracy. In the title story, he blends elements of a gripping horror story within a Western setting. Because of rustling, ranchers have taken to posting a night guard at Big Ghost Basin. These guards are being killed -- and evidence points to a gigantic beast whose tracks match no known animal, and who has never been seen by anyone who is still alive.
