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.

Included in this collection is the absolutely unsettling "By Bizarre Hands," which I just finished reading and is perhaps the most horrifying of all because there were no supernatural elements, just pure evil. (Shivers...)
