The Old Slow Man And His Gold Gun From Space by Ben H. Where else could you read about fist fight with a vampiric monster? LansdaleĪ reluctant Hand of God, Reverend Jebediah Mercer from the dead of the west, is drawn to yet another fight against the evil. The Red-Headed Dead: A Reverend Jebediah Mercer Tale by Joe R. This anthology shows just how grateful this theme is. Some have magic, others steam engines, and some have both some have only one character in it with the exception of the thing they are fighting, others have battles some are about the living, others are about the dead some have only humans, others other creatures too some are sad, some humorous. With the exception of two or three stories which I didn't love as much as the rest, this is a great collection with a common theme: wild west.

Included are Orson Scott Card’s first “Alvin Maker” story in a decade, and an original adventure by Fred Van Lente, writer of Cowboys & Aliens. Here are twenty-three original tales-stories of the Old West infused with elements of the fantastic-produced specifically for this volume by many of today’s finest writers. From a kill-or-be-killed gunfight with a vampire to an encounter in a steampunk bordello, the weird western is a dark, gritty tale where the protagonist might be playing poker with a sorcerous deck of cards, or facing an alien on the streets of a dusty frontier town.
