I’m no expert on the genre, I’m just a casual fan and thought I’d share the few Weird West works I’ve found and enjoyed. Who knows, maybe more people will show up here and share what they’ve found!
I won’t act as a gate-keeper for the genre but just for myself, I’m going to try sticking to items that actually take place in the 1800s. I think there’s a slippery slope of losing the genre definition once I start including movies/books that take place in the modern day but still technically The West so when I start posting those items, you’ll know I’m starting to run out of ideas.
As I put a lot of work into the Wikipedia entry, I am happy to stumble across this. Thanks for starting it. 👍
Welcome! If you worked on the wikipedia page then you’re much more of an expert on Weird West than I am. Hopefully you can post some things here too!
I will be perusing the pages and see what I can rummage up.
Haven’t seen Deadlands yet. You familiar?
I’ve had the Deadlands: Ghostwalkers book on my wishlist forever but I still haven’t gotten around to buying/reading it. Looks right up my alley though!
The tabletop RPG is really fun, and the lore is great. I haven’t read that book, but I’m sure at least the world building will be fun.
Just discovered the genre through Ghoultown. Amazingly unique! Nice to see a community for it.
