    Shane er den legendariske historie om den mystiske, ensomme fremmede, der en dag kommer ridende ind i den dal, hvor drengen Bob bor med sine nybyggerforældre på en ranch. Shanes herkomst og fortid fortaber sig i det ukendte, men på trods af sin gådefuldhed og tavshed opbygger Shane et stærkt venskab med Joe og Marian Starrett, Bobs forældre. Den lille nybyggerfamilie kæmper sammen med de andre nybyggere i området en hård kamp mod den skruppelløse, grådige ranchejer Fletcher. Shane bliver snart in­volveret i denne kamp og kommer til at stå med nybyggernes skæbne i sine hænder. Han har i lang tid forsøgt at bekæmpe fortidens skygger, men må erkende at: "En mand er, hvad han er, Bob, og det kan ikke lade sig gøre at lave om på støbeformen.""Hvorfor ikke indrømme det: Shane er en morderlig historie i sin art, en ægte saga, der udspiller sig på litteraturens overdrev." - Harald Engberg"Savnet klassisk western-roman fra 1949 bliver endelig genoptrykt. ... regnes i USA for et mindre mesterværk om det vilde vest og dets svanesang over for moderne tider. ... Schaefers bog er en træffende hyldest til det vilde vests værdier og den amerikanske selvforståelse som en nation af frie og tapre individualister." - Bo Tao Michaëlis, Politiken"Der vil også være læsere til den de næste 30 år, for den handler om det stof, der skaber helte, myter og mænd." - Helle Winther Olsen, Lektørudtalelse

    Seven train robbers. One haunted locomotive. All aboard for terror. In the spring of 1903, locomotive 311, known as the Majestic, carried more than one hundred passengers toward a tunnel through the underbelly of the Canadian Rockies. But then the mouth of the tunnel swallowed the 311 whole, and the train-and everyone on it-was never seen again. Seven years later, a gang of cattle thieves and cutthroats wait on horseback for a train car full of railway cash-a payroll they intend to steal. What they will discover, however, is that the approaching train isn't the 5409. It's the missing 311, a train only whispered about around dying campfires. A train that some believe still rides the iron rails, traveling to places no mortal should ever go, seeing things no one should ever see. Acclaimed horror writer Keith C. Blackmore etches an unsettling new entry in the annals of the American West. And like the haunted train itself, this one never stops.
