Joe Lansdale's BULLETS AND FIRE!
Bullets and Fire by Joe R. LansdaleMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am a big fan of Joe Lansdale and his writing. I even met the man once at a Horror Writers of America convention in New York City. He is a good man and a great writer.
One of Joe Lansdale's books will stand you on the back of your heels like a good stiff right cross.
If it doesn't hit you that way, you probably ought not to be reading a Read more of this blog post »

George Ilsley's review
of
The Lunenburg Werewolf and Other Stories of the Supernatural:
"A collection of folklore tales from Nova Scotia, massaged into entertaining tall tales by this author.
Covers more than a rumoured werewolf or the typical ghosts; includes a Bigfoot type creature, selkies, lutins, mysterious fires, possible poltergeis" Read more of this review » |

“At the end of the day this is nothing more than a blog. It's nice to hit them high notes - but REALLY - how significant do you think something that sort of sounds like the sound of a flatulent frog being run over by a clown car really needs to be?”

“My first jailbreak began when a coarse-toothed mechanic’s file crashed through the window of the Deeper Harbour Police
Station at two in the morning. The file bounced three or four times before clattering to a halt among a scatter of shattered glass. The file spun a little and came to rest, like a compass needle pointing somewhere far off the edge of the map. Looking back from right here and right now I believe I would like to start this story right then—three days after I had just turned fourteen—spending my birthday in jail. - SINKING DEEPER”

“We all learn to carry so much unnecessary regret. We drag it around behind ourselves and wear it sewn into the inner lining of our shadow. I think that the heart of every ghost story ever told is awash with the soft faded autumnal color of pure unredeemable regret.”

“It was the kind of talk that made me want to break off a limb and take to whacking her and that bunch of hypocrites across the back of the head.”

“What did grown men see in the rattle of sticks, the slashing of steel over ice and hockey sweaters worn way beyond funk?”

“It is midnight in the hard part of town. The mask is itching like it always does. The ragged end of my cape is soaking in a puddle of something I don't want to guess about. I'm crouched behind a kicked-in aluminum trash can. It stinks of rotted meat and drunkard's piss - and I feel right at home. (from Nothing to Lose)”
