Collection of Western-themed short stories, blended with science fiction/fantasy. Many would fall into the subgenre of Steampunk, which compliments the Western very well.

They were generally fun to read, mostly action-oriented narratives featuring outlaws or lawmen (and some women). For my taste, they could have been far “weirder�� and gone a bit deeper.

Two that stood out to me were:

"Bookkeeper, Narrator, Gunslinger" by Charles Yu, a story that played meta games with the conventions of the “gunslinger�� type of charter, and "Alvin and the Apple Tree" by Orson Scott Card, which read like a religious parable.
