When Dave Runyan set out to deliver a wagonload of barbed wire to a farmer in Wayward, Wyoming, he knew there might be trouble. After all, some of the ranchers referred to barbed wire as "the devil's rope" and they might try to keep the stuff far away from their county. But even before Dave reached Wayward, he ran into something far more frightening than a few angry ranchers. For a smallpox epidemic had broken out. The U.S. Cavalry was trying to prevent the spread of the deadly disease, and Dave ended up helping them. That was before he knew one of the army officers had a sickness more hateful than smallpox--and a plan to turn Dave's wire into a true devil's rope!

Slocum’s got just enough rope to hang himself…or someone else. With buzzards circling in the sky, young Tom Garvin hopes his search for the lost cattle of the Bar M Ranch has not ended in vain.

In her celebrated essay "Against Decoration," published in Parnassus, Mary Karr took aim against the verbal ornaments that too often pass for poetry these days and their attendant justifications: deconstruction and a "new formalism" that elevates form as an end in itself. Her own poems, she says, are "humanist poems," written for everyday readers rather than an exclusive audience--poems that do not require an academic explication in order to be understood. Of The Devil's Tour, her newest collection, she writes: "This is a book of poems about standing in the dark, about trying to memorize the bad news. The tour is a tour of the skull. l am thinking of Satan in Paradise Lost: 'The mind is its own place and it can make a hell of heav'n or a heav'n of hell ... I myself am hell."
