 Borrowed for Seanan McGuire story, do not necessarily recommend.

I read a couple stories thru but skimmed the rest. I was primarily interested only on Seanan McGuire's story.

I was just here for Seanan McGuire if I'm honest. Gotta love the Aeslin mice.

This review is just for The Flower of Arizona.

What a fantastic 'intro' to the Healys.

So I mostly got this for the InCryptid short story because I'm a fangirl like that. Thankfully, most of the stories were short. Unfortunately, most of them weren't to my taste. These things happen.

I love this collection of Weird Old West stories! It contains a full diversity of spec-fic forms and attitudes toward the genre. (I also have a story in this one, about a land surveyor - who is also a reluctant gunfighter - working on Mars who gets drawn into larger and less-pleasant events that will shape the future of the pioneer world. It's set in about 1900 on Percival Lowell's Mars after H.G. Wells' Martian invasion of England.) If you like the Old West, alternate history, and the supernatural, you should LOVE this book - and, I hope, my story, too!

I really enjoyed some of the stories, while others were mediocre at best. I didn't keep detailed notes on which ones I felt which way about, and I won't be writing a more detailed review. I also didn't absolutely LOVE any of the stories. However, there were some fun concepts, some interesting plots and twists, and consistently good writing (technique) so this is certainly a compilation to pick up if it sounds interesting to you.
