Jason Waltz’s Reviews > Monster Fight at the O.K. Corral Volume 1: A Weird West Anthology > Status Update

Boop & Fairman, "Of Trains and Tentacles": and this is why I don't do Boop. Or any other slapstick for that matter, so it's nothing personal.

Kay, "None Shall be Lonely": rather fascinating tale, kept me engrossed and entertained. This Ghost Eater is cool.

Hanifen, "The Hungry Dead": meh. Folklorish, okay but predictable.

Zacek, "The Pilgrim": Dark. Dark and eerie and never quite what you anticipate.

Burke, "The Valley of Yellow Death": a very unique story with both an old trope and a new treasure of the immortal wanderer. Pretty cool.

Harper, "Montague and the Return of Don Villanova": fiendishly delightful, I enjoy a good vampire and this story definitely features one.

Andrews, "Under a Blood Moon": bounty huntin' in an interesting switch-a-roo.

Holy wow! Clark's "Lucky" is a terrific story. I almost paused after the first page to say, "What a great beginning," but I couldn't stop cuz it was such an engrossing read. I really had no idea where this was going and it pulled a huge whammy on me. Awesome writing, Chuck!

Stevenson, "Gone Hunting": cool use (and depictions) of a rarely used mythical creature, especially in this setting. Well-done making me feel the hunger and cold. While I didn't enjoy those sensations, I enjoyed this story.

Hart, "Debate at the O.K. Corral": fun despite the heavy hand at the beginning setting the stage. First person storytelling in a bar is a balancing act (I've done it to varying degrees of success). The story as a whole is entertaining and well done, the insertions of our narrator are a little irksome and overly dramatic. Some might find that more humorous than I so maybe it's not as big a sticking point as I feel.
