Talkin' 'Bout My Genre-ation

[s~Z]

"The story itself is one right out of the good old dramatics of the
dime-novel era. It's a ripsnorter, a hootin', tootin', shootin',
hell-roaring whopper."

    -- _Atlanta Constituiton_

Blurb on back of pbk version of _Warlock_ by  Oakley Hall



Would this be a Harteian or Lamourian western?  Hall a definite influence,
of course.  Didn't one of Aristotle's works address the Homeric ripsnorter
and the categories of hootin' versus tootin'?
