Join the celebration for THINGS GET UGLY: THE BEST CRIME STORIES OF JOE R. LANSDALE
Edgar Award winner Joe R. Lansdale hits the road, literally and virtually, in celebration of THINGS GET UGLY: THE BEST CRIME STORIES OF JOE R. LANSDALE. Be sure to stop by and chat with the affable and entertaining legend.
Wildly entertaining, binge-worthy, and a total escape from hum drum reality, Things Get Ugly is pure Joe Lansdale on terrific display. In this collection of his greatest crime fiction stories, Lansdale’s scalpel-sharp wit and prose will have you cackling one minute while it chills you to the bone the next. A rollicking, sometimes haunted trip through his piney-woods soaked noir landscape, Things Get Ugly confirms that Joe Lansdale is to crime fiction what Willie Nelson is to country music: wholly original, genre-defying, raw, gritty, soulful, and lastly, timeless. I could not put this book down!
