Description:
The
time is 1877, the place the wild Wyoming-Montana territory. Will Anderson, a
flinty old rancher, has a huge herd of cattle ripe for market when his regular
hands, inflamed by gold fever, desert him. In desperation, he hires the only
"men" available for the perilous 400 mile drive – a pack of scraggly
schoolboys. Through skill and harsh discipline, Wil Anderson whips them from
greenhorns into seasoned cowhands. But before the long drive is over, the boys
discover that the price they must pay for manhood is a terrible one- murder and
revenge! the stunning, heartbreaking climax of this extraordinary story will
surprise you - and perhaps even sock you.
Stephen King, on writing:
Find a subject you care about and which you in your heart feel others should care about.
It is this genuine caring,
not your games with language,
which will be the most compelling and seductive element in your style.
- Stephen King.
The Sleeper by Edgar Allan Poe:
The Sleeper
by Edgar Allan PoeI stand beneath the mystic moon.
An opiate vapor, dewy, dim,
Exhales from out her golden rim,
And softly dripping, drop by drop,
Steals drowsily and musically
Into the universal valley.
The rosemary nods upon the grave;
The lily lolls upon the wave;
The ruin moulders into rest;
Looking like Lethe, see! the lake
A conscious slumber seems to take,
And would not, for the world, awake.
Irene, with her Destinies!
Oh, lady bright! can it be right –
This window open to the night?
The wanton airs, from the tree-top,
The bodiless airs, a wizard rout,
Flit through thy chamber in and out,
And wave the curtain canopy
So fitfully – so fearfully –
’Neath which thy slumb’ring soul lies hid,
That, o’er the floor and down the wall,
Like ghosts the shadows rise and fall!
Oh, lady dear, hast thou no fear?
Sure thou art come o’er far-off seas,
A wonder to these garden trees!
Strange is thy pallor! strange thy dress!
Strange, above all, thy length of tress,
The lady sleeps! Oh, may her sleep,
Which is enduring, so be deep!
Heaven have her in its sacred keep!
This chamber changed for one more holy,
I pray to God that she may lie
Forever with unopened eye,
While the pale sheeted ghosts go by!
My love, she sleeps! Oh, may her sleep,
Soft may the worms about her creep!
Far in the forest, dim and old,
For her may some tall vault unfold –
Some vault that oft hath flung its black
Triumphant, o’er the crested palls
Of her grand family funerals –
Some sepulchre, remote, alone,
Against whose portals she hath thrown,
Some tomb from out whose sounding door
She ne’er shall force an echo more,
Thrilling to think, poor child of sin!
It was the dead who groaned within.
