Happy Tuesday everyone! Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is Books Set in/Take Place During X and I've decided to features Books Set In The Old West. I don't read Westerns all that often, but I do get a kick out of the genre when it's mixed with fantasy, horror, sci-fi, or steampunk elements which all of my picks are today. Without further ado, here we go in alphabetical order by title:
Boneyard (Deadlands #3) by Seanan McGuire
The Curse of Jacob Tracy (Jacob Tracy #1) by Henry Messinger
Devils Unto Dust by Emma Berquist
The Doctor and the Rough Rider (Weird West Tales #3) by Mike Resnick
My Calamity Jane (The Lady Janies #3) by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows
Revenge and the Wild by Michelle Modesto
Six-Gun Snow White by Catherynne M. Valente
The Six-Gun Tarot (Golgotha #1) by R.S. Belcher
Wake of Vultures (The Shadow #1) by Lila Bowen
Walk the Earth a Stranger (The Gold Seerer Trilogy #1) by Rae Carson
What are some of your favorite books set in the Old West? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
Now that's a great genre blend! Six-Gun Snow White is a favorite of mine. But I had no idea Seanan McGuire had a book like Boneyard, so off to check that out!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! I'm glad you liked it, Lex. 🙂
DeleteHah I love this! I have not heard of any but Six-Gun Snow White and My Calamity Jane both look awesome. I like the Gunslinger series by Stephen King but I don't know if they would count as Old West?
ReplyDeleteI think I would count that series myself.
DeleteFantastic idea for a list! I love fantasy/sci fi westerns, and Six Gun Tarot and Six Gun Snow White are two favorites 😁
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteI can’t remember the last time I read a book set in the Old West, but I’d pick it up if it had horror, fantasy, or science fiction themes like the ones you mentioned. :)
ReplyDeleteIt just adds a certain something extra to it, doesn't it.
DeleteFun take on this week's topic! I don't read a lot of westerns either, but maybe I should check some of these out. Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI hope you find some you like if you do!
DeleteYou have some fun looking reads on your list! I love how you've managed to find Westerns that aren't just cowboys.

Thanks for sharing, Pam.
DeleteI also don't really read straight Western, but I enjoy when it's mixed with something else. Funny how that works! The Six-Gun Tarot looks really interesting!
ReplyDeleteExactly the same for me 🙂
DeleteGreat list. I don't really read Westerns, but they were my grandad's favourite so maybe I should try more. Boneyard looks terrifying!
ReplyDeleteThere are some great combinations out there you might like.
DeleteA couple of these are on my TBR, and I remember liking Six-Gun Snow White! Though I don't think I'd seen that cover, that's a nice one.
ReplyDeleteI do remember seeing another cover for it that was really cool as well.
DeleteI have definitely not read enough books set in the old west. My Calamity Jane looks like it would be so interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt was a ton of fun. 😊
DeleteI don't usually read books on the old west, but I may have to try now. Quite a few of these look really good like Boneyard, Six Gun Snow White, and the Doctor and the Rough Rider. I do plan on reading the Lady Janies series, but have not started it yet, but hopefully soon. I also want to thank you for visiting my blog, A Fujoshi Reads.
ReplyDeleteSeanan McGuire really does write all the things. I didn't realize she had written a book set in the old west. Cool!
