Of course, this being a Den of vast literary tastes (as well as stunning levels of debauchery and iniquity), we have taken it upon ourselves to provide a recommended Lansdale reading list. So get your ass over to Amazon, (or your favorite independent bookseller, because support small businesses whenever and wherever you can) and scoop up some bona fide Texas storytelling. So as you can see, whether you knew it or not, Lansdale is one of the most daring and original voices in genre fiction and you need to start reading him right now. Also, remember Bubba Ho-Tep (2002), the film where Bruce Campbell played an aged and not dead Elvis Presley and fought a mummy that preyed on the elderly?

Lansdale also penned two Jonah Hex series for Vertigo ( Jonah Hex: Two Gun Mojo in 1993 and Jonah Hex: Riders of the Worm and Such in 1995). Remember that kickass episode of Batmanwhen Jonah Hex met a youthful Ra’s Al Ghul in the Old West? Yeah, that was Joe Lansdale.

At that point in my life, I had read my share of “adult” horror stories, but I wasn’t one of these guys who had read the complete works of Lovecraft and Matheson by the time he was ten. Instead of starting at the beginning, I decided to read the story “The Boogeyman” first. It’s a lean, vicious tale that flattened me like a stampede. Given that I was already exceptionally susceptible to nightmares, it’s likely that I feared that reading stories coming straight from King’s brain–as opposed to stories delivered from page to screen by some other party–would be more harrowing than I was ready to endure. I’m not sure why I had avoided it until then. I had never looked twice at that book until the summer before I entered Junior High. My folks had a copy of Night Shift sitting on the bookshelf. As a young horror fan I was, of course, already familiar with King’s work through film and television adaptations of his stories. I considered myself a fan of his, but at twelve-years-old I hadn’t actually read any of his books yet. Then again, I might be a bit biased, since Night Shift is the first Stephen King book that I read. Stephen King’s first collection of short horror stories might still be his best. ĭon’t miss John Grisham’s new book, THE AFTER THE FIRM, coming soon! There is a time to kill and a time for justice.
