Joe R. Lansdale: Bumper Crop (USA 2005) From the Publisher: Many of the stories are truly weird tales, such as the story of false teeth with an appetite, in "Chompers." "Billie Sue" is away, so her mate will play with the available woman next door, for awhile; but Billie Sue is only a few spadefuls of earth away. "The Shaggy House" needs more than a facelift ? it needs something more, and it decides to fulfill its needs on a quiet street, peopled by retirees. Writers and writer-hopefuls will appreciate "Bestsellers Guaranteed," where the secret of becoming a best-seller author is finally revealed, and the price of such. A truly sad tale describes one of the many costs of discrimination, and makes one wonder why you hardly ever see a black "Cowboy," at least in the popular Western literature. These, and the other thirteen stories, all have individual introductions by Lansdale, where he explains the humorous, weird, and sometimes sad genesis for each story. Joe R. Lansdale: Bumper Crop. Golden Gryphon Press, ISBN: 1930846339 (May, 2005), 199 p., $15.95.
