[Becca · Rating 4 out of 5]

Let me start off by saying that Tumbleweed is not for the faint of heart. This book teeters more on the extreme horror and splatterpunk side of things. It’s violent, brutal, and unflinchingly graphic. Some of these things might make it a tough read for some so if you're sensitive to strong and (period accurate) language or disturbing content, this might not be your cup of tea. That being said, Tumbleweed is very well written. All the authors were able to capture the essence of the Western genre while adding their own unique touch. The wild, lawless spirit of the Old West is very much alive in these pages. Of all the stories, there’s only one that didn’t land for me. It was a wild fever dream I don't wish to ever revisit (lol). Overall, this book is twisted, disturbing, and unapologetically gritty. It's not something I usually seek out to read but it's definitely one I will remember for some time to come.

Loved it! I especially enjoyed all of the authors take on the subject of the Old West. It was fun, gross and and action packed. A couple of them really stick in my mind. I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys a fun read.
