“Book Descriptions:In this career retrospective of nineteen unforgettable crime tales, Edgar Award-winning author Joe R. Lansdale brings his legendary mojo and witty grit to harrowing heists, revenge, homicide, and mayhem. In these stories, Lansdale shows exactly why critics continue to compare him to Elmore Leonard, Donald Westlake, Flannery O’Connor, and William Faulkner.
In the 1950s, a young small-town projectionist mixes it up with a violent gang. When Mr. Bear is not alerting us to the dangers of forest fires, he lives a life of debauchery and murder. A brother and sister travel to Oklahoma to recover the dead body of their uncle.
No matter how they begin, things are bound to get ugly—and fast.
Foreword by S. A. Cosby, author of the New York Times bestseller Razorblade Tears
