Virginia Reed survived the Donner Party Werewolves only to find herself in a life and death struggle with a creature out of nightmares. When gold is discovered, California becomes flooded with miners who push Indian tribes from their lands, or kill them if they refuse to leave. But there is a creature in the mountains that won't be so easily removed, who reacts to the invasion of his territory by slaying everyone who trespasses. "Duncan McGeary is an accomplished writer who knows how to tell a great story." Mike Richardson, Emmy award winning producer and founder of Dark Horse Comics "There's monsters in them thar hills, and the weird west was never wilder. 'The Dead Spend No Gold' is a fine tale to be spun around some High Sierra campfire-as long as you don't mind lying awake all night, wondering what that sound was off there in the trees..." Jim Cornelius, Frontier Partisans
