Every man walks with a shadow ... but what happens when he acquires a second one? Just ask Brazos who's a cold-blooded killer for hire with blood on his hands and a posse on his tail.

Desperate for cash, Brazos accepts $200 to gun down a local man named Brant. He'll earn every penny ... but in the end there'll be the devil to pay. Because to put a bullet in Brant means putting one in his partner as well—an eerie stranger schooled in the black art of witchcraft. This is one killing that brings with it a deadly curse—and a second shadow.

As Brazos is about to discover, the Wild West doesn't get any wilder than when a man is damned to live—and die—in the Shadows from Boot Hill.

Also includes the Western adventures The Gunner from Gehenna, in which a plot to steal a miner's gold reveals how a good man can go bad ... and a bad man can do good; and Gunman!, the story of an aging gunfighter turned lawman who shows his town what a real man is made of.
