This very fine collection of Lansdale has nearly every flavour of horror in it, and with his inimitable style there's probably something for everyone here. Creepy horror creatures, demons, cannibals, the apocalypse, noir, cosmic horror, splatterpunk, western horror... and yet it's all of a piece – it clearly feels like each tale is unmistakably ‘a Lansdale story'. It's bizarrely and satisfyingly undefinable.
But a warning: Lansdale pulls no punches. He has a knack for unflinching prose and characters that are designed to make you uncomfortable, appalled, outraged... there is a method to it all that will leave you disturbed and ruminating for some time to come.
