SmashWords is having a 50% off sale, and one of the titles on sale is the excellent anthology “Queer Weird West Tales” (ed. @juliebozza). I have a particular soft spot for, as it includes my short story "A Fearful Symmetry”, and -- as the name suggests -- many more excellent stories.

First off, Weird West. Started playing it yesterday, got it a while ago on PSN. I think I tried playing this a while ago on PC, but it's a twin stick shooter, which isn't the best imo with a keyboard and mouse. I'm a console gamer girl anyway.

So, "weird west" is a subgenre, mixing western and fantasy, usually dark fantasy, elements. This one starts you off playing The Bounty Hunter. A gang of theives has turned to kidnapping, and not for ransom. A "siren" wants them for food. They kidnapped your husband, and killed your son. So you've dug up your irons and are on the trail to save your husband and make those responsible pay.

With a controller, the shooting is fun. There's stealth, there's environmental kills, the story is a good western when it's not undead and blood rites.

Multiple storylines and they get the theming right.

I like it.

A screenshot.  The Bounty Hunter is moving through a mine, following a mincart.  There are corpses of cultists on the tracks, and they do not stop the minecart.  It leaves a bloody swath as it carries on.

The view is at a 45 degree angle, giving a pretty good view of everything, yet also obfuscating.
