Reviews
"The spiritual heir to both Walt Whitman and Elmore Leonard, Joe R. Lansdale is the bard who sings America: in gem-hard, polished prose that never lets up, no matter how ugly things get. As they do indeed in the seminal retrospective that is Things Get Ugly , where vicious people do vicious things to each other beautifully." --Lavie Tidhar author of Central Station and Neom " Things Get Ugly is packed page by page with writing lessons for both beginners and old pros hoping to improve: Get right to it. Keep it moving by surprising. Trust the English language to observe as closely as Joe's line, 'thin and flexible as a feather.' The man can write." --Justin Scott, author of the Ben Abbott mysteries Praise for Joe R. Lansdale "A folklorist's eye for telling detail and a front-porch raconteur's sense of pace." -- New York Times Book Review "An American original." --Joe Hill, author of Heart-Shaped Box "A terrifically gifted storyteller." -- Washington Post Book Review "Like gold standard writers Elmore Leonard and the late Donald Westlake, Joe R. Lansdale is one of the more versatile writers in America." -- Los Angeles Times "Lansdale's been hailed, at varying points in his career, as the new Flannery O'Connor, William Faulkner-gone-madder, and the last surviving splatterpunk." -- Austin Chronicle "There are writers who are prolific and writers who are brilliant: Joe R. Lansdale is one of the few who is both." --Christopher Farnsworth, author of Blood Oath Praise for the short fiction of Joe R. Lansdale "Yet another masterclass in how it's done." --Ed Brubaker, author of The Fade Out "An absolute blast and a gift to all of us devoted fans." --Ace Atkins, New York Times bestselling author of The Revelators "Pure muscle, bone and mayhem, served up the just the way you like it." --Duane Swierczynski, author of Breakneck "Proves once again that no one writes a short story like Lansdale." --Crime Reads "There's that comfort and confidence that the best American popular fiction has." --Eamonn Griffin, author of East of England "Funny, dark, readable, and thought provoking. A joy from start to finish." --Manhattan Book Review "You could call Born for Trouble a collection of stories. But that's like calling Paradise Lost by Milton a poem. . ." --S.A. Cosby author of Razorblade Tears, Praise for Joe R.

Lansdale is one of the few who is both." --Christopher Farnsworth, author of Blood Oath Praise for the short fiction of Joe R.

The man can write." --Justin Scott, author of the Ben Abbott mysteries "A potent blend of stories from one of the all-time greats, Things Get Ugly is the kind of collection you never want to end--as it shows the versatility and command of the craft only a legend like Lansdale can execute. There's a reason Lansdale is among the greatest, and this book showcases his knack for shady characters, rural noir, and an innate ability to get to the heart of what drives us all. A can't-miss book." --Alex Segura, bestselling author of Secret Identity "If there is a writer with a more distinct voice, I don't know them. When Lansdale turns his pen to crime stories you get his signature wild imagination, humor as dark as the bottom of a well and characters who live and breathe (the ones who make it out alive, anyway). Selected from across his epic career, Things Get Ugly burns like backwoods moonshine going down. A best of Joe R. Lansdale is a best of the genre--full stop." --Eric Beetner, author of There and Back Praise for Joe R.

Synopsis
Edgar Award winner and bestselling author Joe R. Lansdale (the Hap and Leonard series), one of America's most essential crime writers, heads back to the dangerous woods of East Texas. In his first crime career-retrospective, including previously uncollected work, Lansdale shows exactly why critics continue to compare him to Elmore Leonard, Donald Westlake, Flannery O'Connor, and William Faulkner. In the 1950s, a young small-town projectionist mixes it up with a violent gang. When Mr. Bear is not alerting us to the dangers of forest fires, he lives a life of debauchery and murder. A brother and sister travel to Oklahoma to recover the dead body of their uncle. A lonely man engages in dubious acts while pining for his rubber duckie. In this collection of nineteen unforgettable crime tales, Joe R. Lansdale brings his legendary mojo and gritty, dark humor to harrowing heists, revenge, homicide, and mayhem. No matter how they begin, things are bound to get ugly - and fast., Edgar Award winner and bestselling author Joe R.

"Pulpy, blackly humorous, compulsively readable, and somehow both wildly surreal and down-to-earth. Lansdale is a national fucking treasure." --Christa Faust, author of Money Shot In the 1950s, a young small-town projectionist mixes it up with a violent gang.

- h***2 (1181)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThe book arrived swiftly packaged in a protective plastic envelope, but it was a paperback not hardcover as listed. I contacted seller and they apologized, refunded me and suggested several things to do with the book after allowing me to keep it. I have gone ahead and ordered a hardcover from the same seller. I’m a repeat customer and hope to remain so. This mixup was a first, but I’m very impressed with their prompt response and professionalism. Kudos :)
