One more to consider is 'Winter in the Blood' by James Welch. Although it's not a traditional western in all aspects, it has elements of the western landscape and a very dark, introspective mood. The protagonist's journey is one of self - discovery in a desolate and unforgiving environment.
Another one is 'The Sisters Brothers' by Patrick deWitt. It tells the story of two assassin brothers in the Old West in a rather dark and humorous way. The characters are complex and the plot is full of twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat.
Sure. 'Blood Meridian' by Cormac McCarthy is a great one. It's extremely dark and gritty, full of violence and a harsh view of the American West. Another is 'The Sisters Brothers' by Patrick deWitt. It has a unique blend of dark humor and the tough life in the west. And 'True Grit' by Charles Portis also fits the bill, with a young girl's determined search for justice in a rough western setting.

It did not lose its decadence. I hope you like the novel I recommended.😗
