Godzilla's in a twelve-step program. A soul-sucking Mummy stalks Elvis and John F. Kennedy. Joe Bob Briggs has a moral dilemma: If your girlfriend turns zombie on you, what do you do? And that's the tame stuff. In this red-hot collection from world-champion Mojo storyteller Joe R. Lansdale, you'll find his best, most outrageous stories. The high priest of Texan weirdness does it all: horror, mystery, satire, suspense, and even Westerns. Prepare to be offended, shocked, and cackling like a crazed redneck. Featuring five Bram Stoker Awardwinning stories, this career retrospective contains some of Lansdale's rarer work, his nonfiction forays into drive-in theaters and B-movies, and the novella Bubba Ho-Tep, later made into a cult-classic major motion picture. Come on in-the weirdness is fine.

Reviews for The Best of Joe R. Lansdale

Always entertaining, champion storyteller Lansdale shares his best weird yarns in this terrific collection... This is a great introduction to the raunchy, cheerfully unclassifiable East Texan bon vivant. --Publishers Weekly Let this volume introduce you to his uncensored, unfiltered world. He is a writer deserving of a wide and appreciative audience. --The Guardian Indisputably one of horror's most revered craftsmen. --Booklist
