âLansdaleâs best knownâand frequently most disturbingâstories . . . sanctified in the blood of the walking Western dead and righteously readable.â âThe Austin Chronicle  From the award-winning master of mojo storytelling, spinner of over-the-top yarns of horror, suspense, humor, mystery, science fiction, and even the Old West comes the first âtrue best of Lansdaleâ anthology. Sanctified and Chicken-Fried brings together a unique mix of well-known short stories and excerpts from his acclaimed novels, along with new and previously unpublished material. In this collection of gothic tales that explore the dark and sometimes darkly humorous side of life and death, youâll meet traveling preachers with sinister agendas, towns lost to time, teenagers out for a good time who get more than they bargain for, and gangsters and strange goings-on at the end of the world. Out of the blender of Lansdaleâs imagination spew tall tales about men and mules, hogs and races, that are, in his words, âthe equivalent of Aesop meets Flannery OâConnor on a date with William Faulkner, the events recorded by James M. Cain.â  âHe may be violent, gruesome and shocking, but Lansdale is also one of the greatest yarn spinners of his generation: fearless, earthy, original, manic and dreadfully funny . . . If youâre new to Lansdale, not easily shocked or offended, Sanctified and Chicken-Fried is a good place to jump in and hang on for a crazy ride off the rails.â âThe Dallas Morning News |
