"The Day Ends Darky" tells the tale of an aged cowboy looking back on his life as one of the frontier's "rough men, doing rough men things," chased by Law men, outlaws and his own sins, through the badlands of the Wild West, written by novelist Alfred C. Martino. This text can be read alone, or accompany the rock operatic audiobook, "The Day Ends Darkly, A Musical Tale From the American West," narrated by rock vocalist Chris Whitby and featuring an opus composed by British music producer Luke Smith.
