The cover shows a temptress and a snake in the grass. The central character has no redeeming qualities but he meets up with a woman who is his equal. This is a chilling tale.

It’s a story that finds the bad-guy getting his come-uppins! Thanks for the short-story sent to us. Villanova was the worst of the worst. He travels toward Mexico where death meets the end of his gun. Then, he finds a lone wagon with an old man spouting the good book to is daughter. The girl is a beauty. Eva was her name. I have to confess that by The End of the book, I was smiling.

Frankly, two stars is generous. There were too many characters early on. Action was dull. Story was comic book’ish. Some of the vocabulary was unfitting for an old west story. Also, the coda presented a big gap in the story that was completely unexplained (the horse).

Great short story
Really enjoyed this short story. I didn't notice it was a short story when I selected it, I found it very interesting as I do all of Peter Brandvold novels. This is worth taking the time to read!

Great
Short, sweet and to the point! Catches your attention and keeps you hanging on as each twist takes you down new turns in the story!

Chet Villanova and his gang had hit the bank, taking $25,000, and been fleeing the posse ever since. In an ambush, they wiped out the nine men and to finish it off, Villanova shot all his gang at the finish to claim all the stolen money.
The story then takes off in horror as the outlaw leader meets the old man and his daughter, a pretty little blond that excited his interest right away. A writhing sack in their wagon is told to be full of rattlesnakes, a delicacy the pair loved.
Wary of the snakes, but mindful of the reward that fine body promised, Villanova goes with them. Father and daughter seemed just a touch off, but that didn't bother him as much as the snakes.
A western horror story that satisfies all around.

Even though this is a short story, I thought that it was very good.
