Back in the early seventies there seemed to be plenty of cowboy books around. I remember a series featuring a hero called 'Edge'. I was but a lad back then but there seemed to lots of these books doing the rounds and, I think, mainly because of the horrifically gory descriptions, were much sought after by me and my prepubescent chums (I was prepubescent too, by the way, not some old guy with a lot of child friends, anyway I digress). Are there any good westerns stories being written nowadays? I'm not a particular fan but really enjoy thought-provoking westerns like Clint Eastwood's 'Unforgiven'. I've read all the Cormac McCarthy books, Blood Meridian is one of my all-time favourites. Is there anything similar out there in ebook form?
