"Westward Strange takes an off-beat approach to western story-telling, diverging from much of the weird west and western detective fiction. The tone ranges from radio westerns to the Twilight Zone, with similar storytelling values. The authors take their cue more from traditional [pulp style and modern lit] models instead of the 'new fiction' seen in much current material in this field; they're creative but leave room for and set going the reader's imagination. They do a good job of it too with first rate, very readable tales, notably from Ed Fitzgerald, KR Johnston, Jan Campbell, Matt Hernando and Herb Hamilton. The tales from editor R D Williamson are not bad either, though further off the reservation. Many beautiful pen and ink drawings illustrate the tales well. This is a keeper of a book, well designed and produced and full of reading entertainment like a good Western should." ~ NGC - Amazon - 5 Stars
