Winner of the George Garrett Fiction Prize, Susan Lowell's Two Desperados is a collection of southwest-flavoured stories that feature a blacksmith, several smugglers, a mule, a jaguar, a runaway groom, a murderess, a witch, a basket weaver, a Gremlin, three cowboys, and a ghost.
Often set in Western border states, these stories will pique, entertain, and occasionally shock you. As they grapple with love and death, a motley collection of modern desperados--poets, blacksmiths, a red mule, dangerous old ladies, lion hunters, and even perhaps a ghost--manage to find sparkles in the dark and a few crazy moments of grace.
