In this extraordinary collection of short fiction, acclaimed author James Carlos Blake journeys from the 19th century Western frontier to the borderlands of the present day in eight unforgettable tales of love, vengeance and violence. Within these pages we meet the son of a wealthy landowner, now reduced to howling at the moon from behind madhouse bars; an illegal immigrant offered the love of a flawed beauty who will echo both in his future and his past; a Texas woman born into a life that will either kill her or take a lifetime to survive; and many more of the people occupying the Borderlands.
