Sisters of the Wild Sage: A Weird Western Collection

By Nicole Kurtz
Sisters of the Wild Sage: A Weird Western Collection by Nicole Kurtz digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

When someone with a pistol meets someone with a magic wand, the pistol loses.

From Nicole Givens Kurtz comes a collection of weird western short stories nestled in the often horrific American past and tucked into the parched future. Here are tales of talisman, magic, and the power of ancients wielded by those strong enough to endure the harsh new frontier. These rugged individuals brought not only their belongings but their eastern beliefs with them.

They weren't ready for the west.

Are you?

Saddle up. Escape to a West as weird and wonderful as one might imagine.

Sisters of the Wild Sage: A Weird Western Collection Reviews

4.0
“Sisters of the Wild Sage is such a sweet departure from my usual diet of horror. Lovers of magical realism, fantasy, historical fiction, and weird westerns should immediately add this to their 'buy' list. Kurtz has a strong, magnetic storytelling voice that draws readers into the narrative. Her characters are vivid, bold, and entertaining. I especially enjoyed the dialog--Kurtz assigns the women in her stories with plenty of unique spunk and attitude giving them distinct personalities. My favorite aspect of these twelve tales is the threads of ancestral magic woven through the world-building of Wild Sage, New Mexico like a tapestry. "When someone with a pistol meets someone with a magic wand, the pistol loses." My favorites: BELLY SPEAKER THE WICKED WILD RISE Highly recommend this collection and the author's work.”
