About

Cowboys and Werewolves are an interesting and odd combination. We’re looking for short stories that have these two elements. They can be in any combination such as werewolves who are cowboys, Cowboys who are hunting werewolves, werewolves who are hunting cowboys, you get the idea. The stories can be set in any time period from the old west to outer space as long as the two key elements are there. You can have other Lycanthropes as long as there are werewolves. Sex and gore are alright as long as it fits the story. No gratuitous scenes either way.
