High Cotton Selected Stories of Joe R. Lansdale

This collection of Joe R. Lansdale stories represents the best of the "Lansdale" genrea strange mixture of dark crime, even darker humor, and adventure tales. Though varied in setting and theme, all the stories are pure Lansdaleeerie, amusing, and occasionally horrific. In "The Pit," modern gladiators square off against one another using Roman methods. An alternate-history tale called "Trains Not Taken" shows Buffalo Bill as an ambassador and Wild Bill Hickok as a clerk. Lansdale's love of large lizards and humor are evident in the stories "Godzilla's Twelve Step Program" and "Bob the Dinosaur Goes to Disneyland."Lansdale, Joe R. is the author of 'High Cotton Selected Stories of Joe R.
