Dead Man's Hand: An Anthology of the Weird West

Dead Man's Hand: An Anthology of the Weird West

HOW THE WEST WAS WEIRD!

From a kill-or-be-killed gunfight with a vampire to an encounter in a steampunk bordello, the weird western is a dark, gritty tale where the protagonist might be playing poker with a sorcerous deck of cards, or facing an alien on the streets of a dusty frontier town.

Here are twenty-three original tales-stories of the Old West infused with elements of the fantastic-produced specifically for this volume by many of today's finest writers. Included are Orson Scott Card's first “Alvin Maker" story in a decade, and an original adventure by Fred Van Lente, writer of Cowboys & Aliens.
