Anybody have any suggestions for horror westerns or steampunk?

Although I did co-write a horror western, I'm a bit leery of crossing genres like this. I believe THE TRAIL TO DEATH MOUNTAIN worked well, but overall I prefer my westerns straight. Attachments:

I'm not ashamed to admit that I love me some Ben Bridges! Saying that, I've never read this particular book. I'll add it to my Kindle soon, though.

I'm heading to Amazon to pick it up! I'm really looking forward to giving it a read.

FIREFLY was a good melding of Western and SF. Too bad it didn't last.

Just read this one today. Great read and thanks guys. Jason Hart was an excellent character - a western seeker. Would like to see his further adventures if he catches on.

Glad you liked it, acehigh. The original story was the pilot episode for a TV show that never got made.

I thought it was a very good book, too. But that's not surprising since Big Ben was involved.
Saying that, I'd have to agree that I like my oaters played straight, as well.
