In the early twentieth century, Florence McGillivray was one of the most accomplished, prolific, and well-travelled female artists in Canada. Her peers recognized her skills and mastery in Post-Impressionistic and Modernistic styles and respected her as a tenured art instructor. But for the most part, history has forgotten her. A name almost everyone has heard of, on the other hand, is Tom Thomson. Tom was a family friend of Florence's, and there is evidence that she enlightened him about the international Modernist movement she had observed in Europe, planting a seed that would change Canadian art forever.

When Sad Sontag and Swede Harrison stumble upon the apparently lifeless body of "Sheep King" Dan Reynolds in San Francisco, they flee the hangman's noose to Singing River, Wyoming - a place mentioned in a telegram in Reynolds's room. But once they're taken on at the Two Bar J P, they find themselves caught up in a war of sheepmen versus cattlemen. Reynolds, needing more range for his sheep, has a finger in every pie, and spies across the land, including one at the Two Bar J P. Soon Sad and Swede are suspected of working for the sheepmen, while the recovering Reynolds is after them for helping the cattlemen. Just about everyone wants to capture or kill the two pards, it seems - but when the bullets start to fly, they're determined to stand their ground and see justice served.
"Mr W.C Morrow, who used to live in San Jose, California, was addicted to writing ghost stories which made the reader feel as if a stream of lizards, fresh from the ice, were streaking it up his back and hiding in his hair." THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY, Ambrose Bierce. Apart from such praise from one of the greatest horror writers of them all, there is much else to recommend Morrow's stories; revenge beyond sanity, bizarre ends and unnesscary surgery all feature in this unjustly forgotten classic. Edited and with an introduction by Kevin Sweeney.

Adam Duval was struggling in a typical high school in an average midwestern town. It was not that he lacked intelligence or drive.

Mysteriously, he soon found himself on a three-year journey.The journey took him to a place where reward was dispersed upon merit, not compliance.
