These four short stories and the novella Red Horse are tales of a supernatural nature with a seasoning of western sage. Indians ride against William the Conqueror. Vile spirits ooze from the abandoned mine tunnels under Deadwood. A hurricane stirs new life into Mexican mummies. Ghost Dancers inhabit an abandoned, affluent, golf community. Finally, Santa's darker brother shows up to fill the gap in children's imaginations between Halloween and Christmas. Here is a stew; spiced with a pinch of poison, a twist of swindle, a dash of evil, and a cold lump of just desserts; fit for any reader's appetite.
