Silver on the Road marks a major landmark in the burgeoning subgenre of Weird West Fantasy, and in my opinion the best novel, on all fronts, that Laura Anne Gilman has written to date. Anyone vaguely interested in her work, or in Weird Westerns, should take the coin of the Devil and ride the road with Isobel and Gabriel to find out what's in the Devil's West. Isobel's journey begins here and while the novel ends on a strong note, it is clear that she has miles to ride on the Road yet. I can't wait for the sequel.--SF Signal October 9, 2015
