| Western Short Stories: A Short Introduction Ah yes, nothing like the gritty, dusty, and thirst inducing tales of western fiction to read in a hot day. Western short stories are a great way to catch up with the many ways a story can be told in the fashion of the old west. While they are usually grounded in a certain era, western stories are also good for mashing up. For example, introducing the undead in a western gun slinging setting? Well there is no way anyone’s going to let that past but thankfully, they don’t have to. The great thing about fictional writings is that they don’t need to stick to any uniform, so people browsing the western short stories library might be surprised with what they will find. 
Western short stories are mostly going to be grounded, consisting of the usual outlaws and sheriffs and the old west in its full glory. In modern storytelling, movies and videogames have managed to take up the genre in fascinating ways. Red Dead Redemption for example, is a milestone in western storytelling, and there is a reason people love it, which is not only because of the gunplay. Hey, everyone loves a good gun slinger, but nobody can resist a good story, now can they? In this day and age however, it is not really a hard thing to find good western short stories, thanks to the unending, infinite library that is the internet!

It is all about keeping the reader hooked, and one can find many interesting western short stories online. To gather supplementary information on western short stories kindly head to Reedsy.
