Tom Sheehan has written in every possible genre over his seventy year and counting career as a writer. And sometimes, as with today’s story, The Ghosts at Horseshoe Creek, he will blend two together.
I am very fond of and impressed by Tom and this story. The mixture of the supernatural and Old West is effortless and you get a sense of strange foreboding when you find yourself in it, yet out in the open, where anything might get you.
Failing eyesight has not deterred Tom and his mind and pen remain as sharp as ever.

A wonderful story about ghosts and guilt. The prose is lush and immersive, and the blending of Western realism with a supernatural atmosphere is well done. The ending is tragic, but seems sadly inevitable.

I remember this from the first time, though I see I didn’t comment last time. For me, a Tom Sheehan western is a perfect re-read: please, editors, keep ’em coming.

I guess it is a bit redundant to comment again–still, Tom always deserves the best notices he can get. Brilliant and as still fully alive as it was when first written–well before the site pub date, back when the world was much younger and a lot more fun.
