Weird Wild West

True Tales of the Strange and Gothic

«

The stories in McQueen's book are mostly fascinating, even those that barely stretch more than a sentence or two. His greatest accomplishment with Weird Wild West is how many times it will cause readers to think, "How on Earth have I never heard this story before?"
