The Latest Reviews

 

Six-Guns Straight from Hell, edited by David B. Riley and Laura Givens, $15.95. Weird westerns bring vampires, zombies and any other form of supernatural nastiness into the Wild West. The new anthology from Science Fiction Trails Publishing of Vail presents 20 original stories of the creepy side of the frontier.

There is a large variety in what at first glance could be all variations on a theme. These are stories that depend on the special features of places from the New Mexico Territory to gold rush San Francisco. There are too many good stories to single any out. Just try them all.   Fred Cleaver, The Denver Post
