The Best of Joe R. Lansdale by Joe R. Lansdale

4.0

Joe R. Lansdale's short story writing is hard to categorize. It's a bit folksy and quite a bit vulgar and gross (like Stephen King, but even more so, and with a Texas twist), often offensive, sometimes funny, sometimes dark, sometimes supernatural, and almost always over-the-top and entertaining. Some his stories are almost like hard-R-rated tall-tales. His work is not for everyone, but I really enjoyed this collection.
