Advance Praise for In the Mad Mountains "Joe Lansdale squares up to the Great Old Ones--and taps into rich veins of awe and wit, with always a backbeat thrumm of cosmic terror. You'll never look at the howling void in the black heart of the universe the same way again." --Kim Newman, author of the Anno Dracula series "Here's Lovecraft's trick: he uses polyphony, many voices, to build his narrative case for the existence of cosmic squids whistling in the dark. Here is Lansdale's trick: doing it better, with a wider array of voices, including those of Poe and Twain and the classic American folk tale and his own Texas noir sensibility. This collection is a box of cursed yet delicious chocolates. Take a bite of every one!" --Nick Mamatas, author of Move Under Ground and I Am Providence "Horror royalty Joe Lansdale's take on cosmic horror and the Cthulhu Mythos is everything you'd hope for--bloody, profane, grimly humorous, and as vivid as Technicolor hell splashed on a 20-foot tall silver screen." --Laird Barron, author of Not a Speck of Light Praise for Joe R. Lansdale "A folklorist's eye for telling detail and a front-porch raconteur's sense of pace." -- New York Times Book Review "A terrifically gifted storyteller." -- Washington Post Book Review "Like gold standard writers Elmore Leonard and the late Donald Westlake, Joe R. Lansdale is one of the more versatile writers in America." -- Los Angeles Times "A zest for storytelling and gimlet eye for detail." -- Entertainment Weekly "Lansdale is an immense talent." -- Booklist "Lansdale is a storyteller in the Texas tradition of outrageousness...but amped up to about 100,000 watts." -- Houston Chronicle "Lansdale's been hailed, at varying points in his career, as the new Flannery O'Connor, William Faulkner-gone-madder, and the last surviving splatterpunk . . . sanctified in the blood of the walking Western dead and righteously readable." -- Austin Chronicle, Advance Praise for In the Mad Mountains "Joe Lansdale squares up to the Great Old Ones-and taps into rich veins of awe and wit, with always a backbeat thrumm of cosmic terror.

In the Mad Mountains is playful, ambitious, surprising and so much fun to read. What a thrill to watch a modern master play literary games with the greats." --Victor LaValle, author of The Ballad of Black Tom "Joe Lansdale is an American treasure--he's funny and he can write whatever he wants to, in whatever genre he chooses and IT WILL BE GOOD. In these stories inspired by Lovecraft, Joe lets his imagination run wild . . . Highly recommended!" -- Char's Horror Corner "Lansdale proves once again with In the Mad Mountains , as he has over his long and triumphant career, to be a master of every genre he touches." --Rae Wilde, author of Merciless Waters and I Can Fix Her "A consistently entertaining, varied, horrifying, and vividly told collection." -- Umney's Alley "Exploring the darkest corners of the human psyche, here is a lethally entertaining journey through Joe Lansdale's twisted landscape, where ancient evils lurk and sanity hangs by a rapidly fraying thread." --Paul Finch, author of Never Seen Again " In The Mad Mountains is a whip-like tentacle of poison that wraps itself around you, dragging you into deep corners of darkness while your heart pistons into overdrive." -- Read@Joes Praise for Joe R.
