OverviewThis collection of 26 stories contains some of Joe R. Lansdale's favorite and most violent dark horror tales. God of the Razor introduces the dark god behind serial killers. A martial arts fight to the death between a reluctant champion and a sadistic alpha male, is featured in Master of Misery. Human sacrifice, to ensure prosperity or as a coming-of-age ritual, are themes of On a Dark October and Duck Hunt. In The Fat Man, young boys learn the hard way that some mysteries should not be investigated. Many of the tales are truly weird, such as Chompers, the story of the false teeth with an appetite. All stories are individually introduced by Lansdale, who explains the humorous, weird, and sometimes sad genesis for each. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Joe R.
