In Six-Gun Gorilla, did you enjoy ...

... a wild, mission-driven adventure through a surreal world?

The Gone-Away World by Nick Harkaway

If you enjoyed the relentless, purpose-fueled drive of the journalist and the gorilla's journey in Six-Gun Gorilla, you'll love The Gone-Away World. Harkaway's novel follows Gonzo Lubitsch and his crew on a bizarre, action-packed mission across a post-apocalyptic landscape, blending high-stakes objectives with inventive worldbuilding and a unique sense of style.

... a tough, morally tangled hero in a brutal frontier setting?

Red Country by Joe Abercrombie

If you were captivated by the ethically complex protagonist and the bleak choices faced in Six-Gun Gorilla, Red Country will draw you in. It centers on Shy South, a character whose quest for justice in a rough, gun-slinging frontier pushes her into morally gray territory, echoing the grizzled antiheroes and ambiguous decisions that defined Spurrier's tale.

... weird, darkly comic science fiction with noir twists?

Gun, with Occasional Music by Jonathan Lethem

If you liked the offbeat humor and satirical bite in Six-Gun Gorilla—from talking gorillas wielding six-shooters to absurdist dialogue—you'll get a kick out of Gun, with Occasional Music. Lethem delivers a surreal detective story where evolved animals and bizarre social rules are played for both laughs and sharp commentary, keeping you grinning in the midst of the madness.

... richly detailed, imaginative worldbuilding?

Perdido Street Station by China Miéville

If it was the vividly realized, gritty frontier of the Blister that stuck with you in Six-Gun Gorilla, Miéville's Perdido Street Station will transport you to another unforgettable setting. New Crobuzon is teeming with strange creatures, layered cultures, and inventive technologies, all described in immersive, sensory detail that brings the world to life as powerfully as Spurrier's dust-choked wasteland.

... bizarre, genre-blending stories with unexpected twists?

The Vorrh by Brian Catling

If you appreciated the wild unpredictability and mind-bending turns in Six-Gun Gorilla—where the story upends expectations and genre conventions with every chapter—The Vorrh will fascinate you. Catling's novel weaves fantasy, surrealism, and adventure into a tale where nothing is as it seems and each revelation redefines what you thought you knew.
