Do I have Bumper Crop, High Cotton, and By Bizarre Hands already? Yeah. Did I need to grab this collection by @joerlansdale.bsky.social too? Don't be dumb. Never enough mojo. Thanks @whiteoakbooks.bsky.social.

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.

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.

I stand by my comment that this isn't essential horror of Joe R. Lansdale, but essential horror, period. An absolutely flawless collection.

Jonah Hex: Two Gun Mojo #1, Aug 1993 by Joe R. Landsale @joerlansdale.bsky.social Tim Truman & Sam Glanzman

Jonah sarcastically gives two different reasons for his facial deformity: a toothpick slipped and he cut himself shaving.

Both are not the truth.
