What is Weird West?

Re: Inspired by #1- what genre will get you every time

Western mashed up with fantasy, horror, and/or science fiction.

Have you watched Cowboy Bebop? Best western scifi there is.

No, I think Cowboy Bebop and Firefly are more western-influenced scifi rather than weird west. To hit the itch it needs to be plausibly western in settings and not just western themes exported into scifi (or scifi guys in Western cosplay, Blizzard). Similarly, I'd put Yojimbo just outside of the boundary.

Texarcana, The Gunslinger (at least the first novel), and Jonah Hex are the core reference works for weird west in print. Cowboys and Aliens, Wild Wild West, and The Warror's Way are good cinema touchpoints. I'm a fan of Belcher's Golgotha for more recent fiction, and Serialbox's Bullet Catchers is really, really good and really, really weird.

For a recent TV show, 'Midnight, Texas' might hit some of the right notes. It's not quite right because it's set in the modern day, but it has a lot of the right elements, in the sense of a small Texan desert town full of supernatural beings dealing with things like vampire and angel incursions, and a localised demonic apocalypse.

would Wynonna Earp fall under this as well?

I don't know, I kind of think that more modern Western Horror needs to be in its own related bin: Wynnona Earp, From Dusk Til Dawn, and John Carpenter's Vampires seem like they would cluster together.

Can you give me some books/films/TV shows so I can check 'em out?
