Story
When Mac Marcy got it into his head to run his own cattle ranch, he spent five long years working for Ben Tanner at the Bar 7 to save up enough money to do just that. His dream finally realized, Mac stakes his claim on a deserted ranch in a nearby valley, and rides over to say hello to his new neighbors at the Flying K. Thing is, Mac finds more than he bargained for in the owner's pretty daughter, Sally Kenyon, who seems eager to help him get started with his own place. What Mac hadn't counted on, though, was the jealous foreman at the Flying K, Vin Ricker, who had plans of his own where Sally and the Flying K were concerned.

Life on an Ohio farm couldn't hold young Bill Carey. He wanted the adventure he knew waited in the territories to the west. He'd drifted into the outlaw life and found himself shot up, a lawman on his trail, holed up on a small farm near the lair of Tabat Ryerson. Ryerson, the man who'd introduced him to cattle rustling and bank robbery, was a cold-blooded killer, the man who'd turned the sweet young woman who'd saved Carey's life into an unwilling accomplice.

When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Not a Louis Lamour
This is by Beau Lamour, not Louis. It has more inappropriate language than Louis Lamour stories. It’s a good story. The dramatization goes slow and isn’t very well done.

Realistic Western
This story incorporates the classic range war story with the not often mentioned displacement and unwelcome of the native Mexicans in New Mexico. I enjoyed the story it was more realistic than others I have heard or read.

Absolutely Ruined :/
I love the original story and I love audio books, but I hate this one. They absolutely destroyed the character of Merrano. In the real story he wasn’t only hated for being half Mexican, he was also hated because his father had married the girl everyone had their eye on. Rather than portraying him as a cool half-Mexican (what main character of L’Amour’s wasn’t cool?) who spoke flawless English and planned ahead, they turned him into some cringing, knee-jerk-reacting Mexican who always sounds desperate and constantly uses Spanish words with a strong accent. Although there’s nothing wrong with that in and of itself, I wish they had stayed accurate to L’Amour’s idea. The interactions between Merrano and Candy were also incredibly inaccurate. They also destroyed the timeline and the actual plot. Some characters were even gotten rid of entirely. Please, do yourself a favor and get the Bowdrie audiobooks instead. They’re accurate to L’Amour’s version and the characters are well played.
