He's none of those, of course; more than any other contemporary writer I can think of, Lansdale is Lansdale, his ownself, sanctified in the blood of the walking Western dead and righteously readable." - Austin Chronicle, "Frequently including wonderfully cadenced stories-within-stories, the tales in Deadman's Road provide Lansdale with a perfect canvas for his particular kind of humor/horror." -- Hell Notes "I love the grizzle, and I dig the misanthropy." -- Revolution SF "This is one weird western series you can take to heart" -- Zombos' Closet "If you're easily offended this may not be the book for you.
