Hardy pioneers who know what they’re doing travel West in large wagon trains. And greenhorn Minnesota gentleman Leslie Walker, his new bride, and his mother are beginning to realize their fatal mistake. Their single prairie schooner may well become their final resting place unless Frank Reade Junior and his incredible Steam Horse can somehow conquer the wilds of the savage and deadly American North West.

A phantom outlaw haunts the Territory of New Mexico. Sid Rollins and his band of killers appear out of nowhere, pillage and terrorize with impunity, then vanish into thin air, leaving only death and sorrow in their wake. Can Frank Reade Junior, boy genius and greatest of inventors, solve the mystery and bring the ethereal criminal to justice?

In this volume the author describes more than 3000 short stories, novels, and plays with science fiction elements, from earliest times to 1930. He includes imaginary voyages, utopias, Victorian boys' books, dime novels, pulp magazine stories, British scientific romances and mainstream work with science fiction elements. Many of these publications are extremely rare, surviving in only a handful of copies, and most of them have never been described before.

From automatons to zombies, many elements of fantasy and science fiction have been cross-pollinated with the Western movie genre. In its second edition, this encyclopedia of the Weird Western includes many new entries covering film, television, animation, novels, pulp fiction, short stories, comic books, graphic novels and video and role-playing games. Categories include Weird, Weird Menace, Science Fiction, Space, Steampunk and Romance Westerns.
