Reviews

"Frequently including wonderfully cadenced stories-within-stories, the tales in Deadman's Road provide Lansdale with a perfect canvas for his particular kind of humor/horror." --Hell Notes "I love the grizzle, and I dig the misanthropy." --Revolution SF "This is one weird western series you can take to heart" --Zombos' Closet "If you're easily offended this may not be the book for you. Deadman's Road is by no means for the faint of heart." --My Shelf Confessions "Deadman's Road is an absolute joy to read and read again--and a must-have addition to every right-minded reader's bookshelf." --Bookgasm "... if you want something amusing, scary, and in-your-face? For that you need Joe R. Lansdale." --SFFWorld "The master of such tales is undoubtedly Joe Lansdale. For over thirty years Lansdale has been writing western horror stories, setting the tone for all such stories that followed." --Lit Reactor "It's the mixture of horror, humor, and action elements that makes this collection a must-read for fans of dark literature." --Buzzy
