Harrigan

Frederick Schiller Faust, writing as Max Brand, is celebrated for his literary Westerns that blend thoughtful storytelling with elements of mythology. His early work in pulp fiction laid the foundation for a rich narrative style. In an evocative excerpt, a character named Harrigan tends to a fire, creating a protective space for Kate Malone, highlighting themes of survival and care in a rugged landscape. Brand's ability to capture intense moments and emotional depth sets his work apart in the Western genre.
