Weird West (or Weird Western) is a genre of fiction that uses the Wild West period of American History as a foundation and then adds fantasy/supernatural elements to it. So stories where gunslingers encounter zombies, vampires, demons, robots, or any other creatures that wouldn't otherwise be present in a standard Western.
This is a community for sharing various Weird West works. Movies, Books, Comics, Video Games, TV Shows, whatever fits.

Remember that time in the early 2010s when everything had a surprising "and"?
Cowboys and Aliens Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Golden days of elevator pitching.
Sense, Sensibility, and Sea Monsters
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is both the laziest and cleverest idea for a novel - the author literally just took the original novel and rewrote it to add zombies.
I was surprised with how well Pride and Prejudice and Zombies followed the original plot. Oh, you free thinkers, learning Chinese martial arts instead of Japanese martial arts, how ever will you fit in?
And my Axe!
