Joe Lansdale's horror stories are visceral, unique, and highly entertaining. If you haven't encountered his work before, this is a great place to start.

I am very proud of this collection

Last night, I finished THE ESSENTIAL HORROR OF JOE R. LANSDALE, a new collection out this week from @TachyonPub.

What a great collection! Every single story was superb: engaging, skillfully told and a little bit weird. Lansdale is simply a masterful storyteller.
