About this product
Product Information
Godzilla's in a twelve-step program. A soul-sucking Mummy stalks Elvis and John F. Kennedy. Joe Bob Briggs has a moral dilemma: If your girlfriend turns zombie on you, what do you do? And that's the tame stuff. In this red-hot collection from world-champion Mojo storyteller Joe R. Lansdale, you'll find his best, most outrageous stories. The high priest of Texan weirdness does it all: horror, mystery, satire, suspense, and even Westerns. Prepare to be offended, shocked, and cackling like a crazed redneck. Featuring five Bram Stoker Award-winning stories, this career retrospective contains some of Lansdale's rarer work, his nonfiction forays into drive-in theaters and B-movies, and the novella Bubba Ho-Tep , later made into a cult-classic major motion picture. Come on in--the weirdness is fine.

Reviews
"A folklorist's eye for telling detail and a front-porch raconteur's sense of pace." -- New York Times Book Review, "Always entertaining, champion storyteller Lansdale shares his best weird yarns in this terrific collection.... This is a great introduction to the raunchy, cheerfully unclassifiable East Texan bon vivant." -- Publishers Weekly "Let this volume introduce you to his uncensored, unfiltered world. He is a writer deserving of a wide and appreciative audience." -- The Guardian "Indisputably one of horror's most revered craftsmen." -- Booklist, "Like 10-alarm chili, Lansdale is pretty strong stuff. . . . He has become a cult figure." -Peoplemagazine, "Lansdale is a storyteller in the Texas tradition of outrageousness . . . but amped up to about 100,000 watts." -Houston Chronicle, Always entertaining, champion storyteller Lansdale shares his best weird yarns in this terrific collection....

He is a writer deserving of a wide and appreciative audience." — The Guardian [This] is a must-have book…If you are looking for a unique experience that will leave you equal parts stunned and nostalgic, frightened and amused, look no further." — Fatally Yours Whether you are a die-hard Lansdale fan…or you are a neophyte to the Cult of Lansdale looking for a good starting point, this is the book for you." —Kent Allard, Dead in the South Indisputably one of horror's most revered craftsmen." — Booklist, Like 10-alarm chili, Lansdale is pretty strong stuff. . . .

Lansdale is a must-have book for the lover of the weird, the champion of the bizarre, and the fan of the outrageous. If you are looking for a unique experience that will leave you equal parts stunned and nostalgic, frightened and amused, look no further." -- Fatally Yours "Whether you are a die-hard Lansdale fan and want to get most of his best work in one volume or you are a neophyte to the Cult of Lansdale looking for a good starting point, this is the book for you." --Kent Allard, Dead in the South [STARRED REVIEW] "Always entertaining, champion storyteller Lansdale ( Vanilla Ride ) shares his best weird yarns in this terrific collection. Crucified Dreams , an emotional introduction (I speak uncensored, unfiltered, and full of madness), prefaces 16 stories pushing the limits of westerns, mystery, horror, southern gothic, and satire. Five Stoker-winning tales and several stories later translated onto the screen (including campy Elvis tale Bubba Ho-Tep) share space with such jewels as the intense Incident On and Off a Mountain Road, about a tough woman with a wild secret; succinct Cowboy, in which a man meets an African-American boy yearning for more stories about black cowboys; and the hilarious White Mule, Spotted Pig, about a frustrated man's bid for freedom via a wacky mule race. This is a great introduction to the raunchy, cheerfully unclassifiable East Texan bon vivant." -- Publishers Weekly "Indisputably one of horror's most revered craftsmen, with more than 30 novels and hundreds of stories to his credit, Lansdale sports an idiosyncratic, endearingly profane style. Where else but in a Lansdale story would one find Godzilla in a 12-step program tailored to oversized monsters, or an octogenarian Elvis, confined to a bed in the Shady Grove Convalescent Home, facing down a soul-eating Egyptian mummy? Both tales are in this handpicked best-of collection, about which his fans could only object that its total of 16 stories is far too small. Lansdale's favored themes run from zombies to vampire hunters to drive-in theaters, and his storytelling encompasses everything from gross-out horror to satire. For the record, "Mad Dog Summer," about a brother and sister's tense encounter with a backwoods creature during the Depression, is worth the price of the volume all by itself; and as a bonus attraction, Lansdale includes a rambling, autobiographical essay describing his East Texas boyhood and the many influences on his fiction, from comics to fantasy." -- Booklist Praise for Joe R. Lansdale "He can write anything, in any genre, and he has such a unique style that whatever Joe Lansdale you're reading, it's always Joe's singular, unmistakable voice." --Hansi Oppenheimer, director of All Hail the Popcorn King "A folklorist's eye for telling detail and a front-porch raconteur's sense of pace." -- New York Times Book Review "An American original." --Joe Hill, author of Heart-Shaped Box "A terrifically gifted storyteller." -- Washington Post Book Review "Like gold standard writers Elmore Leonard and the late Donald Westlake, Joe R. Lansdale is one of the more versatile writers in America." -- Los Angeles Times "A zest for storytelling and gimlet eye for detail." -- Entertainment Weekly, "Lansdale is a storyteller in the Texas tradition of outrageousness . . . but amped up to about 100,000 watts." -- Houston Chronicle, Praise for The Best of Joe R. Lansdale "Always entertaining, champion storyteller Lansdale shares his best weird yarns in this terrific collection....
