Joe R. Lansdale has a folklorist's eye for telling detail and a front-porch raconteur's sense of pace. -- The New York Times Book Review

EDGE OF DARK WATER describes a trip downriver that is one-half Huck Finn, one-half Deliverance, and entirely Joe Lansdale. If you aren't familiar with the work of this true American original, and master of hillbilly noir, climb in the boat and hang on for dear life: the water is rough.--Joe Hill, author of the New York Times bestseller Horns and A Heart-Shaped Box Joe Lansdale always transports me. In EDGE OF DARK WATER, he takes me to the mysterious brooding landscape of Twain and Faulkner, with a compelling twist that is all Lansdale.--David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of First Blood and Creepers Joe Lansdale has long been one of our finest and most difficult to classify writers. You can call his writing supernatural, horror, crime, or plain Southern, as long as you remember to call it great. Always a generous storyteller, in EDGE OF DARK WATER he offers a beautifully spun tale of life in the sticks, friendship and mortality, and tells it with the wit, humor and pure-dee power we've come to expect of him.--Daniel Woodrell, author of Winter's Bone Joe R. Lansdale has a folklorist's eye for telling detail and a front-porch raconteur's sense of pace.--The New York Times Book Review Scenes that stand your hair on end while you fall out of your chair laughing.--Chicago Sun-Times, on Leather Maiden The strongest, truest, and most pitch-perfect narration since Huck Finn's. Marvelous and terrifying, EDGE OF DARK WATER is the result of real genius at work. A masterpiece.--Dan Simmons, author of The Terror and Drood

Scenes that stand your hair on end while you fall out of your chair laughing. Chicago Sun-Times, on Leather Maiden
