Hello hello all.
I’m writing a book. Basically it’s going to be a western, with supernatural themes.
I am on a hunt to find western books that’ll give me kinda that feel. I want to basically get some inspiration. Weather that be straight up western non fiction, or a fiction westerns story that has themes of action, violence, maybe romance if it’s not too be much of a central plot point.
I already have plans to watch a few of the newer pieces of Western media, as well as take inspiration from games like Red Dead. I haven’t read a physical book in a minute but I’ve been writing on and off for years and years. On top of this, though unrelated, I plan on starting The Witcher book series soon, hopefully before next year.
Thanks in advance!

I am writing a book with the same themes. Would you mind sharing your plot? I’ll understand if you don’t. Mine involves a bounty hunter taking on the devil in Wild West America. Anyways good luck I hope I’ll get to read it.
The dark tower series gives the supernatural/gunfighter feels
True Grit by Charles Portis
Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry
Probably my two favorite Westerns (that won’t take too long to read).
A longer read: Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy, be awar that this one is incredibly dense.
Dark Tower 4
The sisters brothers by Patrick deWitt
