Ruxton Springs

Ruxton Springs: Dark Tales of the West are stories of place.

Short stories you can read over a cup of coffee that will sweep you to a world where the famous gunfight in Tombstone took place in an ice cream parlor and altered the course of history. A town where Krampus calls on the greedy. And a man, estranged from his father, is reunited over the old man’s dreams as he confronts his mortality. You can visit this town at the edge of the Rockies, travel through time, confront horrors, and witness man’s violence and be back in time for supper.

For more than fifteen years, publications like El Portal, Bewildering Stories, and the Saturday Evening Post have published Scott Jessop’s dispatches from Ruxton Springs. Now, you hold them in your hand—to be read in an afternoon or whenever you have a few minutes to spare.
