"You rode a 15 year old boy straight to his death ... and the rest of us straight to hell"
1990 'Brat pack' western movie, purporting to tell a fictionalised retelling of the last days of William H Boney aka Billy the Kid, shot down by the sheriff Pat Garrett.

I have no idea how much of this is fictionalised n and how much is fact: I do know that sheriff Pat Garrett is supposed to have shot Billy the Kid in the back, but as for the backstory that he used to ride with him ...?

Anyway, this now shows its age, although the soundtrack is as great as ever!

Too much cowboy malarkey (0 more)
Having read a fair few Laymon novels I looked forward to reading this one. Jack The Ripper goes West is an interesting idea but sadly runs aground. The main issue I had was that there was too much cowboy malarkey going on in the main story. The horror elements are kept as bookends for the story, which follows Trevors travels to Tombstone to attempt to halt Jack The Ripper's reign of terror. As I am not much of a fan of Western novels I found it all a bit of a slog to get through. Not one of Laymon's best by a long mile.
