Weird West (or Weird Western) is a genre of fiction that uses the Wild West period of American History as a foundation and then adds fantasy/supernatural elements to it. So stories where gunslingers encounter zombies, vampires, demons, robots, or any other creatures that wouldn't otherwise be present in a standard Western.

This is a community for sharing various Weird West works. Movies, Books, Comics, Video Games, TV Shows, whatever fits.

8 books, one short story, and one kids book... enveloping one weird Western tale in a world that has moved on.

My only complaint, and I mean only, is that he stopped doing the flashbacks to young Roland after the 4th book.

Granted book 4 was virtually ALL flashback, but still, there was more story there that is missing now. :(

Sometimes authors have to leave a little story out, to remind us that reality is difficult and unknowable
