Historians and westerns fiction writers have been rehashing the 1881 shootout at Tombstone's O.K. Corral ever since the dust settled that day. Nobody, however, has retold the story of Doc Holliday, Johnny Ringo, and Wyatt Earp with more panache than Tucson author Emma Bull. In this debut novel, she adds a generous dose of sorcery into the Wild West pudding. The frontier seems to be teeming with magic: Earp, Holliday, and newbie college dropout Jesse Fox are all tapping their inner magus. Adding to this stew of complication is attractive widow Mildred Benjamin, typesetter by day, penny dreadful writer by night. Territory adds an eerie fantasy edge to a redolent western showdown.
