During the first few months of 2009 Leisure Westerns (Dorchester) published the first four in their Classic Film Collection
The next four books in this collection will be published in 2010.
Coming in March will be The Outlaw Josey Wales by Forrest Carter. The film version of this classic western starred, and was directed by Clint Eastwood. (Leisure will also be publishing the sequel: The Vengeance Trail of Josey Wales)
April will see the publication of Blood on the Moon by Luke Short. This was made into the famed noir western of the same name directed by Robert Wise and starred Robert Mitchum. (Leisure will also be publishing Luke Short’s novels Ambush and Vengeance Valley)
Appearing in May will be The Stalking Moon by T.V. Olsen. The film was directed by Robert Mulligan and starred Gregory Peck.
Rounding up this next set of four will be June’s publication The Tall Men by Will Henry. Directed by Raoul Walsh the film starred Clark Gable and Jane Russell.
I'm glad to see the series is continuing. Josey Wales is a good book. I reviewed it (as Gone to Texas, its "official" title) just last month.
