How else could you describe these stories? Not for the faint of heart? Nah. I’m going with nearly perfect for these times when too many people have a burr up their asses about—well, everything. This collection of short stories is quite the trip down Lansdale Lane. It's full of potholes, bumps, and hairpin turns that take the form of deviant preachers with just a bit more than murder on their minds, bounty hunters, feeble-minded ghosts, dead dogs, and hoodoo men. And if you aren’t familiar with Bubba Ho-Tep, you are in luck. This is where it all began. Did I mention the nuns? Hope you NEVER run into them.
You’ll find yourself on the far side of the Cadillac Desert with Dead Folks. And speaking of dead folks, what happens when the love of your life crosses over the rainbow bridge before you? Well, you might just have to track down Death and have a little chat. This collection is titled The Essential Horror of Joe R. Lansdale. Telling more of any of these stories wouldn’t be fair to you, the reader.
If you aren't familiar with Lansdale's work, well shame on you! He has done as much for horror and crime as much as King for horror. And the fact that there are still people out there who don't know Joe R. Lansdale is a damn sin. If you are one of those people, you now have the perfect opportunity to unfuck that. And if you know—you know.
Lansdale. Call me.
