My short story collection, Twisted Tumbleweed Tales, is now available as an eBook from Crossroad Press. It contains eighteen stories--including two selected by Ellen Datlow as Honorable Mentions in the annual Year's Best Fantasy & Horror anthologies--and seven previously unpublished.
It's also available through Smashwords, and for Kindle and Nook.
"Out to Pasture" is available for reading at the Wildclown Chronicle.
How the West Was Weird
The Bony Express delivers souls across the desert plains…
Santa Claus is wanted by bounty hunters who have no Christmas spirit…
A legendary Pinkerton pursues Jack the Ripper along the Barbary Coast…
Billy the Kid leads a gang of Lost Boys in Nevertown…
Gather round the campfire for these tall tales and fourteen more in this collection of weird westerns by Paul Victor Wargelin. Saddle up with Doc Holliday, Buffalo Bill Cody, and George Armstrong Custer on uncanny adventures never covered in the history books, and where witches, werewolves, and zombies can be found among the cacti and sagebrush.

“'Six Guns & Six Spells' [is] well-written and entertaining…[This] tale of Western witchery contains characterization so tight that even the witch’s familiar (her horse) has personality.”
“I’ve always been impressed by Paul Wargelin’s writing. When it comes to a professional, succinct voice, I’ve worked with none better.”
