The Weird Wild West (Weird and Wild, #1)

by Faith Hunter, Jonathan Maberry, and Gail Z Martin

[Danielle Ackley-McPhail]

Anthologies can be difficult to review. Very seldom is a reader happy with every story within. The quality of the writing can be, shall we say, varied from story to story. And in the case of themed collections, the subject matter can get old by the time you've turned the last page.

Let me tell you that none of this is the case with The Weird Wild West.

This means a lot coming from me. I've edited many anthologies and I cannot help but look at short fiction with an editor's eye. When reading The Weird Wild West not once did I need to restrain myself from making notes of what should be changed to elevate a particular story.

This collection takes the grit and glory that epitomizes the old west and gives it many delightful speculative spins.

Do yourself a favor and take my advice...don't just add this book to your to-read shelf, get your hands on a copy and immerse yourself in these tales.
