Howard - The Dead Remember by Robert E. HowardWeird West is a subgenre that combines elements of the Western with another genre, usually horror, occult, fantasy, or science fiction. When supernatural menaces of horror fiction are injected into a Western setting, it creates the horror Western. Writer G.W. Thomas has described how the two combine: "Unlike many other cross-genre tales, the weird Western uses both elements but with very little loss of distinction. The Western setting is decidedly 'Western' and the horror elements are obviously 'horror.'" This is one of many books in the series 3 Books To Know.

Book Description
Welcome to a Steampunk wild west starring Doc Holliday, with zombies, dinosaurs, robots, and cowboys. The time is April, 1885. Doc Holliday lies in bed in a sanitarium in Leadville, Colorado, expecting never to leave his room again. But the medicine man and great chief Geronimo needs him for one last adventure. Renegade Comanche medicine men object to the newly-signed treaty with Theodore Roosevelt. They are venting their displeasure on two white men who are desecrating tribal territory in Wyoming. Geronimo must protect the men or renege on his agreement with Roosevelt. He offers Doc one year of restored health in exchange for taking on this mission. Welcome to the birth of American paleontology, spearheaded by two brilliant men, Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh, two men whose genius is only exceeded by their hatred for each other's guts. Now, with the aid of Theodore Roosevelt, Cole Younger, and Buffalo Bill Cody, Doc Holliday must save Cope and Marsh not only from the Comanches, not only from living, breathing dinosaurs, but from each other. And that won't be easy.

These carefully selected works can be fiction, non-fiction, historical documents or even biographies. We will always select for you three great works to instigate your mind, this time the topic is:Romantic Era - The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers - 7 Best Short Stories by H.P. Lovecraft - 7 best short stories by M. R. JamesThe King in Yellow is a collection of short stories written by Robert W. Chambers and published in 1895. The stories could be categorized as early horror fiction or Victorian Gothic fiction, but the work also touches on mythology, fantasy, mystery, science fiction and romance. Lovecraft created a new brand of horror, discarding ghosts and witches and instead unleashing nightmarish fiends to whom mankind is a hapless tiny spot of dwindling sanity in a malevolent universe. 7 best short stories by H.P. Lovecraft is a selection chosen by the critic August Nemo, that reveals the mesmerizing narrative style of the visionary american writer. M. R. James redefined the ghost story by abandoning many of the formal Gothic clichés and using more realistic contemporary settings. H.P. Lovecraft was a fan, and wrote a review on his work: "...gifted with an almost diabolic power of calling horror by gentle steps from the midst of prosaic daily life." he says, also adding: "Dr. James has, it is clear, an intelligent and scientific knowledge of human nerves and feelings; and knows just how to apportion statement, imagery, and subtle suggestions in order to secure the best results with his readers." The critic Augst Nemo selected seven short stories for you to enter the gloomy world of M. R. James. This is one of many books in the series 3 Books To Know.

Book Description
National Book Award Finalist • Here is the unforgettable story of the Binewskis, a circus-geek family whose matriarch and patriarch have bred their own exhibit of human oddities—with the help of amphetamines, arsenic, and radioisotopes. One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years Their offspring include Arturo the Aquaboy, who has flippers for limbs and a megalomaniac ambition worthy of Genghis Khan . . . Iphy and Elly, the lissome Siamese twins . . . albino hunchback Oly, and the outwardly normal Chick, whose mysterious gifts make him the family’s most precious—and dangerous—asset. As the Binewskis take their act across the backwaters of the U.S., inspiring fanatical devotion and murderous revulsion; as its members conduct their own Machiavellian version of sibling rivalry, Geek Love throws its sulfurous light on our notions of the freakish and the normal, the beautiful and the ugly, the holy and the obscene. Family values will never be the same.

Book Description
A wendigo, a werewolf, snake people, vampires; Harriet Cassidy has hunted them all, but she needs help. Too long has she wandered the west stumbling across the next monster or nasty critters. Hoping for some direction in her crusade, the red-haired gunslinger heads east in search of an old monster hunter who goes by the name Ebenezer Abel. With nothing to go on but a vague telegram from her sister she hunts down the mysterious stranger. Finding herself on a riverboat on a course to the big Mississippi, she stumbles upon the man she seeks. He is older than she thought, and learns that he is fueled by puritan fanaticism. Instead of imparting his wisdom to her, he tells her of an ancient book that he seeks. He says it is a book that will wipe the world of all supernatural creatures. Intrigued by his offer, Harriet helps the puritan in his search. They don't have to look far as the tome is hidden on the very vessel they're traveling on. Finding this book is no easy task, the book has a mind of it's own, and it draws others to it. Corrupting them and turning them into otherworldly horrors. Harriet and Ebenezer have a shaky alliance as they seek out the book. There is more to the puritan's agenda than the book. Reasons that seem to lay with one of the passengers aboard the riverboat. The one they call The Swamp Witch.
