Other Old West fantasies?

I believe some of Ambrose Bierce's fantasies were set in the Old West,
particularly California, but I can't name one offhand. E.g., is "The
Damned Thing" set anywhere in particular?

I'm having a hard time remembering good examples, too. Which
is annoying, because several are dancing at the tip of my brain.

Was it Alan Dean Foster who has a collection of short
stories about a guy riding a de-horned unicorn around the
Old West?


Yes - _Mad Amos_

There's a good short story by an author I really should
remember (Joe R. Lansdale?) about a couple of cowboys
trying to survive a Bigfoot attack in North Dakota. Can't
even remember where I read that one.

David Drake's Old Nathan isn't really old West, but
it's got the same feel.

The Deadlands RPG definitely counts as fantasy in
the Old West, and I'm pretty sure they put out some
collections of fiction.


I couldn't find anything specific, but I did find a Wikipedia
article on "Weird West" that listed some fiction
