Lansdale <br /> Razored Saddles edited by Joe R. Lansdale and Pat Lo Brutto<br />Wild Riders and Trouble Valley by Lee Hoffman<br />Sturgeon's West by Theodore Sturgeon and, in part, Don Ward<br />Time of the Wolves by Marcia Muller<br />Sixgun in Cheek and The Western Hall of Fame by or edited by Bill Pronzini (and edited by Dale L. Walker) among others<br />and the token eastern:<br />Who Fears the Devil? by Manly Wade Wellman<br /><br />Thanks again!
