"EDGE OF DARK WATER describes a trip downriver that is one-half
"Huck Finn", one-half "Deliverance", and entirely Joe Lansdale. If
you aren't familiar with the work of this true American original,
and master of hillbilly noir, climb in the boat and hang on for
dear life: the water is rough."--Joe Hill, author of the New York
Times bestseller Horns and A Heart-Shaped Box
"Joe Lansdale always transports me. In EDGE OF DARK WATER, he takes
me to the mysterious brooding landscape of Twain and Faulkner, with
a compelling twist that is all Lansdale."--David Morrell, "New York
Times" bestselling author of "First Blood" and "Creepers"
"Joe Lansdale has long been one of our finest and most difficult to
classify writers. You can call his writing supernatural, horror,
crime, or plain Southern, as long as you remember to call it great.
Always a generous storyteller, in EDGE OF DARK WATER he offers a
beautifully spun tale of life in the sticks, friendship and
mortality, and tells it with the wit, humor and pure-dee power
we've come to expect of him."--Daniel Woodrell, author of Winter's
Bone
"Joe R. Lansdale has a folklorist's eye for telling detail and a
front-porch raconteur's sense of pace."-- The New York Times Book
Review
"Scenes that stand your hair on end while you fall out of your
chair laughing."-- Chicago Sun-Times, on Leather Maiden
"The strongest, truest, and most pitch-perfect narration since Huck
Finn's. Marvelous and terrifying, EDGE OF DARK WATER is the result
of real genius at work. A masterpiece."--Dan Simmons, author of The
Terror and Drood
