&quot;Lansdale is an immense talent.&quot;—Booklist. Small-town juvenile delinquents, Pentecostal snake-handlers, zombies, psychopaths, and assorted freaks populate these witty and gritty tales of horror by a master of the genre. The suspenseful, action-packed tales range from visions of a post-apocalyptic world (&quot;Tight Little Stitches in a Dead Man's Back,&quot; &quot;On the Far Side of the Cadillac Desert with Dead Folks&quot;) to alternative histories (&quot;Trains Not Taken,&quot; &quot;Letter from the South, Two Moons West of Nacogdoches&quot;). A dozen other stories of gruesome violence and utter depravity include &quot;The Pit,&quot; in which car trouble develops into a life-or-death struggle; &quot;Night They Missed the Horror Show,&quot; involving an encounter with ornery rednecks; and &quot;Hell Through a Windshield,&quot; in which a drive-in movie provides a one-way ticket to another dimension. By Bizarre Hands, Joe R. Lansdale's debut collection of short stories, was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award for Best Fiction, and two of its tales have received Stoker awards. Lansdale's novella Bubba Ho-Tep was adapted into a 2002 film, and his Hap and Leonard detective stories inspired the Sundance Channel television series. This edition features an Introduction by science-fiction novelist Lewis Shiner and an Afterword by horror fiction author Ramsey Campbell. Suggested for mature readers. www.doverpublications.com
