Gunslingers. Lawmen. Snake-oil Salesmen. Cowboys. Mad Scientists. And a few monsters.

The Old West has never been wilder!

The Good, The Bad, and The Uncanny presents sixteen original and never-before-published adventures by some of today's most visionary writers who have spun wildly offbeat tales of gunmen, lawmen, magic, and weird science.

Saddle up with Josh Malerman, Scott Sigler, Keith DeCandido, Cullen Bunn, R.S. Belcher, Greg Cox, Jeffrey Mariotte, Laura Anne Gilman, Aaron Rosenberg, Maurice Broaddus, John G. Hartness, Carrie Harris, James A. Moore, Marguerite Reed, C. Edward Sellner, and Jennifer Brody!

Each story blazes a new trail through very strange territory, discovering weird science, ancient evil, mythic creatures, and lightning-fast action.
