The Long Ride Back
Readers who stumble onto Ed
Gorman's writing soon find their pulse quickening with excitement as they
discover that he's one of the best mystery, horror and Western writers working
today. Here's what a few critics are saying about Ed's exceptional Western
collection, The Long Ride
Back & Other Western Stories:
"This being my first
exposure to Gorman, I loved every second of it. Expecting a typical Western, I
was blown away by how he turns the genre on its ear like some of the Western
writing of Elmore Leonard." Bruce Grossman, Bookgasm
"Simply one of the best
western writers of our time." Rocky Mountain News
"Ed Gorman's western
stories are anything but ordinary. They often take take place in lonely,
tragic, mythical landscapes." Goodreads
"Donald E. Westlake (to
whom Ghost Town is
dedicated) pointed out similarities to the Westerns of Will Charles (crime
author Charles Willeford writing under a pseudonym) Willeford and Gorman
approached their material in the same way, namely that criminals are the same
no matter what time period they're living in. That's Western noir. What Gorman
is doing with the Western may not be new, but it's still a fresh approach that
hasn't been done to death. He did not create the concept of Western noir, but
he gave it a name, and he is certainly the best at it." Somebody Dies
