Silver On The Road might count. The Devil* takes over everything between the Mississippi and the Rockies hundreds or thousands of years before the US becomes a thing, and the Devil's West continues to have magical bullshit the rest of North America does not particularly. Main protagonist is a young lady who has just signed up as the Devil's troubleshooter. It takes place in the early 19th century. The title of the (first) book refers to what you do when you run across a crossroads. You toss a silver coin (or other silver paraphernalia) into it and if it immediately tarnishes, there's some bad juju going on. * - may only be called the Devil because he is impeding Christian-oriented imperialism with supernatural powers

ConfusedUs posted:I like this book a lot. The last act is kinda slow, though. The Half-Made World sequel The Rise of Ransom City is quite different and less approachable, but it nails the style of a bunch of period stuff rather than translating it into a modern novel. I love 'em both.
