![]() ![]() Just scanning the blurb, our gonzo meter is already flicking into the red zone. It has a foreword by new pulp sensation SA Cosby, and the bulk of the tales take place in the dangerous woods of East Texas, Joe R Lansdale’s original stomping ground. Things Get Ugly contains 19 short stories full of wit, grit, heists, revenge, homicide and mayhem. ![]() ![]() We can hardly believe it ourselves and half of us expect to get arrested later for unspecified misdemeanours. Secondly, we’ve got a complete short story from Things Get Ugly right here on the site. It’s like a wanted poster – ‘want’ being the operative word. Firstly, this post is the official cover reveal for Things Get Ugly: The Best Crime Stories of Joe R Lansdale so take a good old gander at the image above. So… we’re ecstatic to be able to bring you two – yes TWO – exclusives from the Joe R Lansdale crime fiction universe. ![]() Nobody writes quite like JRL and it’s no surprise the TV series was so well received by crime fiction lovers like us. His Hap and Leonard series is second to none for gritty, brutal, gonzo Southern noir, but done with a ladle of nuance, plenty of feeling and a touch of black humour. Joe R Lansdale is a legend in the crime fiction genre. ![]()
