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

Thanks, Joe! What an afternoon. Bookstores fuckin rock.

Yep.

"I heard about your scar. How'd you come by it?"

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.

Signed this weekend at the ECOF event in Willcox, AZ: Sojan / Under the Warrior Star (by @joerlansdale.bsky.social ) by Christopher Paul Carey, then editor at @paizo.com now at @edgarriceburroughs.bsky.social

I love Under the Warrior Star so much, I *may* have designed a cocktail about it ;)

Book cover of Sojan the Swordsman / under the Warrior Star. The cover shows the heroes of both stories, back to back, with their weapons up.

Front matter page of the book. In blue ink it is signed "Christopher Paul Carey"
