“Weird West” is a genre that blends frontier settings with sci fi and/or horror elements, and this anthology features stories about queer characters encountering the truly weird. Edited by the wonderful Julie Bozza.

My story is called “The Train Ticket,” a horror piece with (because it’s me) a smidge of romance:
A man finds himself holding a train ticket to Hell after accidentally attempting to rob a ghost train. While seeking shelter from a deadly blizzard in an isolated prairie cabin, he plays host to an adversary and a ghostly former lover, and faces questions of his own guilt, innocence, and intention.

If it was on Ao3, these would be the tags:

Mystery, paranormal mystery, blizzard, existential crisis while undergoing a physical crisis, namely freezing to death, wrestling with morals, unexpected visitor, even more unexpected visitor, pioneers, wagon trains, railroads, train robbery, prostitution, murder, undertaking, vanishing, disease, the wild hunt (ghost riders in the sky), if it’s Old West spooky I threw it in there

I had a ton of fun with this– the whole anthology is wonderful!
