Western
Hailed by the Western Writers of America as one of the
top twenty-five Westerns ever written: The harrowing story
of an innocent young man pursued across west Texas by a
relentless posse
A crack shot more skilled
with a rifle than are men twice his age, eighteen-year-old
Tot Lohman has no intention of using his genius for evil.
But when a fight erupts at a schoolhouse dance, Lohman is
forced to defend himself, and a young rancher named Shorty
Boyd winds up dead. The Boyds are numerous, powerful, and
vicious, and they want revenge. With no one else to turn to,
Lohman sets out across canyon country to reunite with his
ailing father in New Mexico Territory. The journey will be
long, hot, and perilous, and to survive it, this
mild-mannered boy must become the cold-blooded killer he
never wanted to be.
Based on real
events, The Hell Bent Kid is a tale of
pursuit as stark and mesmerizing as the Southwestern
landscape in which it is set. Unrelenting from first page to
last, it ranks alongside The Ox-Bow
Incident, True Grit, and The
Searchers as one of the most unique and artful
stories of the West ever told. In 1958 it was adapted into
the film From Hell to Texas, directed by the
famed Henry Hathaway and starring Don Murray, Diane Varsi,
Chill Wills, and Dennis Hopper.
