HIS NAME WAS DEATH... AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH HIM

Carbon Canyon is just like any other gold-rush camp in California - until suddenly the innocent miners and their families become victims of random and brutal attacks by ruthless corporation gunmen,

led by Coy Lahood.

But then a mysterious stranger rides into the dusty settlement as if in answer to the miners' prayers. He alone will challenge thegreed and guns of Lahood's thugs. He alone will become a catalyst

for hope and retribution.

From 1972 through 1985, Michael Butler & Dennis Shryack wrote films that included The Gauntlet, Pale Rider, The Car, Code of Silence, Flashpoint, Phone Call (aka Murder By Phone) and more. Encyclopocalypse Publications is proud to reissue this long-out-of-print novelization of Pale Rider, now featuring an all-new introduction by Michael Butler and an afterword by Alan Dean Foster.
