High Cotton: Selected Stories - Joe R. Lansdale (Hardcover)
Tax included.
This collection of Lansdale stories represents the best of the 'Lansdale' genre-a strange mixture of dark crime, even darker humour, and adventure tales. The stories are varied in setting and theme, but they are all pure Lansdale-eerie, amusing, and occasionally horrific.
In 'The Pit', modern gladiators square off against one another using Roman methods. An alternate-history tale called 'Trains Not Taken' shows Buffalo Bill as an ambassador and Wild Bill Hickok as a clerk. Lansdale's love of large lizards and humor are evident in the stories Godzillas Twelve Step Program” and Bob the Dinosaur Goes to Disneyland.
