West Texas Barbecue is Michael Chandos’s standalone short story, published in 2019. The title places the story firmly in a specific corner of America, and it sits between his anthology contributions as an independent piece of short fiction.
Chandos published the story three years after his second anthology appearance in Aliens - The Truth is Coming (2016) and four years before his most recent anthology contribution in More Groovy Gumshoes (2023). West Texas Barbecue can be read without any familiarity with his other work and gives readers a sample of his writing outside the science fiction and mystery anthology collections.
