High Cotton: Selected Stories of Joe R. Lansdale


Add your own review!

Overview

This collection of Joe R. Lansdale stories represents the best of the Lansdale genre--a strange mixture of dark crime, even darker humor, and adventure tales. The stories are varied in setting and theme, but they are all pure Lansdale--eerie, 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.
