| Abstract | A wild ride through the weird western world with New York Times bestsellers Seanan McGuire, Faith Hunter, and 18 other amazing writers of western stories! The cry of coyotes at moonrise. The whistle of the eastbound train. The heat of the desert sun. The western is the quintessential American literary genre, and now we're turning it on its head. From sentient tumbleweeds to time-traveling schoolmarms, desert demons to werejaguars, space-faring herd drivers to gunslinger justice, there's something for everyone. Featuring many of the best writers in speculative fiction today, saddle up for the thrills-- we're going to take you on a wild ride through a West that never was. Featuring twenty original western short stories from new worlds and the familiar worlds of Faith Hunter's Jane Yellowrock novels, Laura Anne Gilman's The Devil's West series, and John G. Hartness' Bubba the Monster Hunter series, Lawless Lands is a weird western anthology with something for everyone. |
