I live in a town of about 2000 folks, so I've always understood where Joe was coming from, and I thought Hap and Leonard might really be speaking for us....but then he seemed to lose track. I think he tried to become a Southern Andrew Vachss by putting a message in every book (I thought the Veil character was especially stupid). I LOVE everything up to Freezer Burn, but am getting really tired of every book he now writes being about race relations.
Still, I'll stick it out; I already have his new novel pre-ordered.
I've got Fistful, Bizzare Hands, Stories by Mamma Lansdale's..., High Cotton, Bestsellers Guaranteed, Writer of the Purple Rage, The Good, the Bad, and the Indifferent, and Electric Gumbo. They're all signed except Bizarre (though I have three copies). I also have the anthologies he edited: the Best of the West stuff, Dark at Heart, and Razored Saddles. Even the damn nonfiction stuff. About the only thing I'm missing is the novel The Big Blow (though I do have the Revelations anthology with the novella).
I LOVE his three Jonah Hex mini-series, especially Two-Gun Mojo. "I say you're a boot-lickin' son of a bitch that would suck the jam from between a dead man's toes."
