I haven't read many weird westerns, but I love stories about people traveling in strange, desolate places and encountering odd people/ruins/technology. It's hardly a western, but Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun features a lot of this, as do most of the Dark Tower books. The Little Sisters of Eluria is probably my favorite mix of a familiar old west setting and the supernatural. ConfusedUs posted:Haunted Mesa by Louis L'Amore may qualify here. It's modern (well, 1980s) but it acts like a western, talks like a western, and is plotted like a western. Picked this up at the library, and the story was pretty good, but my god is it repetitive. Every chapter has to spend a paragraph or two reiterating what the last few chapters established. I've never read any L'Amour before, but I know most of his books are like 150 pages long, and this one could have easily been cut in half.
