Lou Pendergrast at More2Read reviews Joe R. Lansdale’s Cold in July.

His prose is lean and tight, dialogue and scenes have you in and running the the tale through his voice whipped in a well good sentence.

An author breathing amongst us the likes of the great authors James M Cain and Jim Thompson.

A pulp styled good tale but deeper without too much deepness in narrative just the right amount to be enjoyable wherever you restart reading the tale, right chapters sizes, right story length, all hallmarks of Lansdale’s skill as a storyteller.
