Weird Western

[close] The western is a time-honored genre in the literature world, but it wasn't until lately that we've started adding the surreal to the mix and it's been a wild ride. From "Wild Wild West" to "Cowboys and Aliens" and "Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare", the genre has seen an explosion of weird. Was the OK Corral shootout actually a last stand against zombies? What about alternate-history Wild West steampunk? Lovecraftian gold mine dwellers? Parallel-world gunslingers like Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series? Modern-day "Justified"-style vampire hunters? Bring 'em all in, dead or alive. Book-club discussion, reviews, book suggestions, dream-casts, workshopping, and author AMAs.
