Science fiction and fantasy are often about borders. Often with what we know and on the other side the enticing unknown – that final frontier or undiscovered country where the imagination can run a little riot. That’s the fun side!

An imagined world where the world is in some ways duller than our own actually is if you look up every now and then. Fortunately, in the new anthology Queer Weird West Tales edited by Julie Bozza we get to populate those boundaries with queer characters front and centre of the story and deliver an entertaining anthology to boot as these characters explore stories inspired by the idea or concept of the wild west. ... Bound to be something for everyone to enjoy
