Why read it?

1 author picked The Far Side of the Wild West as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Lyn McConchie is a solid, established fantasy author who has written books alongside Andre Norton and it shows in this great collection of weird western short stories, each one filled with great characters. Short story collections don't often pull you along from tale to tale, but this one did for me. Some of Lyn's tales had more of a steampunk tone. Others were ghost stories. Still others involved creatures passing between dimensions. All of them were set in the wild west. I really wanted to see what happened as we moved along from story to story.
