The Black Horse Western series by Brent Towns spans 41 books from 2006 to 2020, making it one of the longer western series in the genre. The titles cover familiar western ground — vengeance trails, outlaws, lawmen, canyon country, and frontier towns — with entries like Riding the Vengeance Trail, Vigilante Law, Canyon of the Dead, and Wanted: Dead or Alive giving a clear sense of the territory.

The series had a slow start with a handful of books through 2008, then went quiet before returning strongly from 2016 onward. The years 2017 to 2019 were the busiest, with roughly 25 books published across that stretch. Son of a Gun is the natural starting point, though the western format means most entries can also be read independently.
