Ever since Chester Witherspoon was a child, he had been picked on by older, larger boys. One day he got hold of his fathers revolver and, in an attempt to even the odds, shot at the town bully. He missed, but that single action earned him a reputation that would serve as the basis of The Terrorist. He would learn at an early age that killing was not only exhilarating, but infectious. It wasnt long before he had every lawman on the West Coat searching for him. To add insult to injury, he managed to get on the mobs hit list as well. And they knew where he lived!

Kyle Byrdie is a rebellious young man, breaking into the local grocery store at night to steal liquor, maliciously shooting and killing a neighbor's dog, harassing an elderly couple by throwing feral cats into their bedroom at night, but he crosses the line when he rapes his younger sister. When his father learns of this vile act, short of putting him in jail, he seeks the only available remedy - sending him to a book camp for unmanageable youths. Two strange men come to his home in the middle of the night, and while he is a drunken stupor, sleeping, they wrap him up in blankets and then haul him several hundred miles high up into the mountains. There, at Redwood Estates, he is given a rude awakening to the harsh life that awaits him. It doesn't take long for things to go from bad to worse. He gets into an altercation with one of the guards, killing him. He escapes, steals a car and makes his way back home where he intends to exact revenge on the family that sent him to the book camp.

Walter Howard: Reflections in Moonlight

By: Walter Howard

There is something old-fashioned and sage-like in Walter Howard's poetic voice. I can imagine him reading from a mountaintop-- with the raging elements a backdrop to his words. Howard is a learned man-- and has been an academic for many years-- but his poetry is in the tradition of a true romantic. He uses nature and emotion to find spiritual truth. He embraces beauty-- with all its allure, but is not afraid to reveal its frightening and dark side as well. Howard uses ample doses of levity to pull the fly down on our most cherished traditions and notions, but in the same token he shows a deep respect and affinity for all the things this world has to offer." - Doug Holder, Publisher of Ibbetson Street Press
