I've got to write a Western for next year, a short story and I've never written anything in that genre. But it's even worse... I've never read anything in that genre!
And wikipedia is recommending Louis L'Amour but those are novels...
So my question, good people of the Westerns, is, which short stories should I start with? If I'm new to the genre and I'd like to check out the classics, what can I get?
I'd just like a bit of good old-fashioned inspiration. I'd like stories that would help me get a feel for the classic genre. I thought this was the best place to ask!
I'd also like to know if any of you knows of a good book of Old West folklore, ghosts and ghoulies and other creepy crawlies. Cryptozoolgy sounds good too!
Thanks for your help!
