Dead Man's Hand, ed. John Joseph Adams

I bought this anthology because Seanan McGuire is in it, with a story featuring characters I like at a point in their lives I wanted to read about. So, I'm happy I bought it.

But I'm pretty sure now it is entirely not my thing.

'Weird West' sounds interesting enough. Could be steampunk, could be zombies, could be magic decks of cards. I find though that I like all the weird well enough and just cannot connect with the West.

I recognise the idiom, but it's not where my dreams hang out.

Add to that my usual dissatisfaction with the short story, since they're all bite sized and at best leave me wanting a meal, and I think I'm unlikely to re-read this one.

But it's probably good. If the wild west with weird stuff in it sounds appealing to you.
