From Booklist
From 1940 to 1960, DeRosso produced some 200 western short stories and short novels, mostly dealing with the darker side of life, whether on the frontier or in a more modern setting. He also wrote a half-dozen full-length novels. And, he did it all in virtual seclusion and without venturing too far from the northern Wisconsin iron-mining town where he was born. In failing health, he ended his career and his life with a shotgun blast in 1960. Pronzini, a novelist in his own right, is equally well known as an editor of western story collections. In his second DeRosso anthology, he has pulled together 10 tales arranged chronologically and by theme: honor, hate and vengeance, the quest for self-respect or the simple triumph of right over wrong. Most are violent. Most have relatively conventional plots. Most are about men driven by internal demons, not unlike DeRosso himself, men of the shadowlands. And most provide stimulating, against-the-grain reading for western fans. Budd Arthur
