The Marfa Lights: Strange Illuminations Over West Texas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798245720081)

Strange lights. Silent deserts. And the legends of the West who witnessed the impossible.

For over a century, the high desert of West Texas has held a secret. From the ghost lights of Mitchell Flat to the lonely highways of the Trans-Pecos, the Marfa Lights have baffled scientists, skeptics, and travelers alike. But what if the lights were watching us long before we were watching them?

In The Marfa Lights, author Patrick Kinney weaves a collection of atmospheric tales that blend historical fact with sci-fi wonder. Journey back to the lawless frontier and witness the unexplained through the eyes of the West's most famous figures.

Inside this collection, you will discover:

• Doc Holliday's fevered encounter with a blue orb that offered a glimpse beyond death.

• John Wesley Hardin's flight from the law, interrupted by a force more terrifying than any Texas Ranger.

• Charles Goodnight's cattle drive through a valley illuminated by silent, intelligent fire.

• Texas Rangers, Buffalo Soldiers, and lonely prospectors facing the unexplained aerial phenomena of the 1800s.

Perfect for fans of The Twilight Zone, Weird West fiction, and Texas folklore, these stories are written as "campfire tales for modern times"-designed to transport you to the quiet, mysterious darkness of the desert night.

Settle in, look to the skies, and discover the mystery of the Marfa Lights.
