The Library Journal have announced their best books of the year, divided by categories. Frequent Tachyon contributor Joe R. Lansdale’s The Thicket ranked among the finest historical fiction.

Lansdale, Joe R. The Thicket. Mulholland: Little, Brown. ISBN 9780316188456 $26; ebk. ISBN 9780316248754.
In a matter of days, Jack Parker loses his parents to smallpox, his grandfather to murder, and his sister to kidnappers. With the help of a cunning bounty hunter and an ex-slave grave digger, he sets out on an epic journey across turn-of-the-20th-century East Texas to rescue his sister. A coming-of-age Western “laced with bravado, good humor, action, and heart.” (LJ 9/1/13)

Congratulations to Joe for the much deserved honor!
