Description
Whether in an old weathered mine shaft, somewhere off the beaten path, out in the woods, or right here in the middle of this ghost town, danger awaits. We’re going to take you way back, drop you right smack dab in the middle of the Old West at its finest. But we’re not just going to give you shootouts and bullet wounds and blood splatter. Yes, those things are prominently featured, but there’s so much more to this anthology of western horror.
Maybe it’s a well-known creature popping in for a visit, or some new creepy crawly monster sucking out your soul, we’re going to turn the Old West inside-out and explore its guts to the fullest. There are new adventures to be had, monsters both familiar and unfamiliar to be thwarted… And we’re not always going to be the victors. Life in the Old West is hard, trying at its best, and it can wear you down quick.
So, prepare yourself to be transported back in time. Get yourself up on that rickety stagecoach, draw your guns, and let’s get going. There’s vast territory to cover here, and your journey begins now.
Featuring the talents of Antonia Rachel Ward, Nick Kolakowski, Villimey Mist & Damascus Mincemeyer, Jonathan Kemmerer-Scovner, Sean Eads & Joshua Viola, Craig E.

A perfect collection for fans of Western Horror, Brigid’s Gate Press’ Blood in the Soil, Terror on the Wind has a story for everyone no matter what your favourite subgenre of horror is. Each story was a hit for me, as always seems to be the case with Brigid’s Gate Press but I did particularly love The Good Doctor. That said it’s hard to pick one favourite from the amazing selection.
Each story shines out in this collection not only capturing the horror elements but the isolation and ‘horror’ that was the ‘wild west’ as well. An absolute must read for horror fans, even if you don’t enjoy ‘westerns’, when you finish this collection you will.

I had no idea western horror was even a thing, so when I saw this anthology, I was super excited to dive in. And wow, it was amazing! The stories are gritty, atmospheric, and just the right amount of creepy. Some were scarier than others, but overall, the quality was solid across the board. I really enjoy anthologies; getting a mix of voices and settings. It keeps things fresh and interesting. This book totally opened my eyes to a new horror subgenre, and now I’m hooked. Already on the hunt for more western horror!
Definitely recommend if you’re into horror and want to try something a little different.
