Welcome to the weird and woolly west! Saddle up for a breathtaking ride into a new frontier of terror. Here are 17 startlingly original masterpieces of the macabre—gruesome tales of madness, vengeance and heart-stopping horror in a world of Indians and aliens, of gunmen, ghouls and Elvis impersonators. Experience a modern-day dinosaur round-up, learn the shocking truth about the hideous curse that killed Doc Holliday... and ride a 40-foot rattlesnake in a bizarre post-nuclear rodeo.
All this and more awaits you in a remarkable anthology of evil that gives the western a black hat and a bad name.
