Mistakes Can Kill You

A Collection of Western Stories

By: Louis L'Amour

Narrated by: Lance Axt

Edge-of-your-seat thrillers from the greatest Western author ever.

There will never be another Western writer like Louis L’Amour. A legendary author and indisputably the greatest storyteller in his genre of all time, L’Amour captivated millions of readers and has sold well over three hundred million copies of his works, which includes nearly ninety novels and countless short stories.

Mistakes Can Kill You highlights an essential selection featuring nine of L’Amour’s earlier short stories, sometimes written under the pen name Jim Mayo, that exemplify the rugged morality of the best Western writing. In “Black Rock Coffin-Makers”, two men ready to kill over ownership of a ranch get more than they bargain for when a stranger is caught in the crossfire. And in “Four- Card Draw”, Allen Ring wins a ranch in a poker game, only to find out an unsolved murder was committed there years ago and law enforcement thinks Ring knows more about it than he’s letting on.

L’Amour made his characters come alive on the page, and his ability to capture the spirit and authenticity of the Wild West is unrivaled. Mistakes Can Kill You transports you to a world you’ll never want to leave, and proves that Louis L’Amour will always be the king of spinning a classic Western yarn.

Great short stories

This audio is a series of short stories and each one great in its own right. Narrative is good but the narration of the ladies part was a little on the corny side - being a guy the narrator did pretty good at winging it. Great stories and a worthwhile listen. Five by five on stories with a par four on ladies parts, overall I recommend stepping back into the sage brush and stewing a pot of coffee to settle in on a great adventure.
