<b>Reviews of the first edition: </b> an eye-opener for fans of the typical all-American, John Wayne western --<i>ARBA</i>; in the extraordinarily useful and detailed <i>Encyclopedia of Weird Westerns</i>, Green identifies horrific and supernatural departures and twists over the last 150 years of the Western. A delightful, breezy volume one might read cover to cover. Green's <i>Encyclopedia</i> covers considerable ground...certainly deserving of recognition --Ray Merlock, University of South Carolina Upstate, <i>The Journal of American Culture</i>; all-encompassing coverage...a stunning amount of research...Green has done the Western genre a great service --<i>True West</i>; a useful and entertaining guide to the mind-bending and genre-blending world that resides outside the mainstream...a handy sourcebook --<i>Wild West History Journal</i>; a fine, well-researched and entertaining book --<i>Destructive Music</i>; thorough...it is very easy to get lost in the <i>Encyclopedia of Weird Westerns</i>, so make sure to set aside a good deal of time when you pick it up to 'just look something up.' There are plenty of discoveries awaiting, and some old favorites to revisit --<i>Green Man Review</i>; his coverage is quite inclusive; few media are omitted --<i>Communication Booknotes Quarterly</i>; a rich vein for prospectors mining those dusty hills of the Wild Weird West. It's the kind of book I like to dog-ear and write in, and carry along with me, in my urban saddle bag, to refer to often --<i>Zombos' Closet of Horror</i>; highly recommended --<i>Operaphile</i>; this unique volume covers ground that has generally eluded researchers --<i>Starlog.</i>

His unique volume covers ground that has generally eluded researchers. -- Starlog Starlog
