High
Cotton: Selected Stories of Joe R. Lansdale
by Joe R. Lansdale
Like Stephen King, Joe R. Lansdale is a powerful and versatile author.
He writes frequently funny, often disturbing suspense, horror, dark fantasy,
science fiction, and Western fiction. And like King, he has a strong sense
of place: he successfully invokes the spirit of the West and demonstrates
a wonderful and distinctly Texan gift for a phrase. But don't be fooled--the
resemblances are superficial. Joe R. Lansdale writes like nobody but his
own self. And, unjustly, he's not yet a bestselling author.
The genre-jumping collection High Cotton is subtitled Selected Stories
of Joe R. Lansdale, but could more rightly be called The Best of Joe R.
Lansdale. If you haven't read Lansdale, this is the place to start. If
you like Lansdale, you already know you want this collection, even if you
already own By Bizarre Hands, which contains 7 of these 21 stories. If,
however, you are of a delicate constitution or a sensitive nature, you
might want to steer clear. Lansdale can be blunt, or gross, or grim, sometimes
all at once.
Most of the stories in High Cotton are excellent, and some are already
classics. "Night They Missed the Horror Show," a tale of bored young hell-raisers
who discover dreadful new depths of trouble, is one of the great horror
stories of the 20th century. The alternate-history Western "Letter from
the South, Two Moons West of Nacogdoches" packs a lot of big (and shocking)
changes into four pages. In the crime story "The Steel Valentine," a fading
athlete finds himself the captive of his lover's merciless, criminal husband.
In "The Phone Woman," a man discovers his horrifying true nature in a violent
act. And in the screwball "Mister Weed-Eater," a man's life is turned upside-down
and inside-out by his innocent attempt to help a blind groundskeeper.
Joe R. Lansdale is the author of over 20 books, including the Hap Collins
and Leonard Pine mystery series. He has won the American Mystery Award,
the Booklist Editor's Award, five Bram
Stoker Awards, the British Fantasy Award, and the International Crime
Writers Award. --Cynthia Ward - Amazon.com
