From New York Times best-selling author Richard Matheson, best known for his horror and fantasy writing, comes a highly praised Western that shows the master’s hand in this genre as well.

Back East, they told tall tales about Marshal Clay Halser, the fearless Civil War veteran who became known as the “Hero of the Plains” for his daring exploits in the Wild West. But the truth, as revealed in his private journals, is even more compelling.

A callow youth in search of excitement, Halser travels to the raucous cow towns of the frontier, where his steady nerve and ready trigger finger soon mark him as a gunfighter to be reckoned with. As both an outlaw and a lawman, he carves out a legendary career. But fame proves to be the one enemy he can never outdraw—and a curse that haunts him to the bitter end.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The best novel I read last year.” (Stephen King)
“The author gives his story a credibility and honesty unusual in the genre.” ( Publishers Weekly)
“Breathtaking…first-rate…impossible to put down. Mr. Matheson has done something remarkable: with a single novel he has placed himself in the front rank of Western novelists.” (Richard S. Wheeler, author of Vengeance Valley)

From start to finish I was riveted. I’ve consumed over 500 titles on Audible and I’ve maybe left five reviews and I’ve enjoyed plenty of books, although Journal Of The Gun Years is the rare gem that moves me post a review. My only criticism is that it ended.

Best Western!

Many of the parts of the story did actually happen to different old west gunfighters and the fame of being a fast hand killed more than one of them.

A worthwhile read that you won’t be disappointed by.

A fascinating story

Kept seeing were people didnt like the language, thought they ment cussing, not but few of those and appropriate for subject matter. Took some getting used to the lack of contractions and the narrorators style that could be improved. It isn't historically accurate, but it is fiction and not ment to be. Some real old west stories are tailored into the fictional world, that for me, enhances the realism of the fiction.

not much cussing and good realism

Story seem to be going well then all the sudden the profanity, blasphemous, and using God’s name in vain.

Disappointed

Wasn't expecting too much but there is a bit of a lack of decent western novels devoted entirely to gunfighters and gunfights. this one intentionally cuts out most of the details that don't add to the construction of a gunfighter character and is a really enjoyable read. the narrator has some great moments and some moments where he is hard to take but on the whole I would enthusiastically recommend the book for straight up old west gunfighter story seekers.

A pleasant surprise

Billy the Kid, Wild Bill Hickok, Wyatt Earp, and Buffalo Bill: This novel’s protagonist embodies each of these real life western legends and by combining these figures into the life of one man: gunman, peace officer (and sometimes killer), Clay Halser, we see how the violent events of his life and the fame that resulted can destroy a man in a manner far worse than a quick shootout. It’s an unblinking look at the cycle of violence and revenge that spirals Clay’s life ever downward into the pits of despair, aging him far beyond his years and leaving him alone and hopeless. Was not expecting such a sad story, yet I’m very glad I decided to give this a try. It’s one that will stay with me for a long time.

An unflinching take on the cost of violence

Worth your time to listen to this story about a gun slinger. Well done representation of the story. You will enjoy if you like western stories.

Good story

Why is the narrator reading the main character as if he either has a brain injury..... english is not his first language or both?

He reads other characters fine

I can’t focus on story

Narrator is ruining it

I usually enjoy westerns, but this one isn't good. The best thing about the final chapter is that I was looking forward to being done with it.

painful

What is going on with the performance? After the first chapter the story is good, but it becomes unlistenable.The narrator takes on a weird robotic tone and an affected nasal deepness that quickly turns unbearably grating. I had to bail on this audiobook fast.

Needs A New Performance Worthy Of A Great Writer
