Re: [DL] Setting the Mood

Ravenous is excellent, as is Dead Man (see it if not already done). I 
also like the Ravenous soundtrack, but the girly�girls in our posse are

Any other suggestions, folks? Old thread, but is there anything new out? 
Especially books�I'm always looking for good Western (or, better yet, 
Weird Western) reads.
