Joe R. Lansdale (b. 1951), the award-winning author of such novels
as Cold in July (1989) and The Bottoms (2000), as well as the
popular Hap and Leonard series, has been publishing novels since
1981. Lansdale has developed a tremendous cult audience willing to
follow him into any genre he chooses to write in, including horror,
western, crime, adventure, and fantasy. Within these genres, his
stories, novels, and novellas explore friendship, race, and life in
East Texas. His distinctive voice is often funny and always unique,
as characterized by such works as Bubba Ho-Tep (1994), a novella
that centers on Elvis Presley, his friend who believes himself to
be John F. Kennedy, and a soul-sucking ancient mummy. This same
novella won a Bram Stoker Award, one of the ten Bram Stoker Awards
given to Lansdale thus far in his illustrious career. Wielding a
talent that extends beyond the page to the screen, Landsdale has
also written episodes for Batman: The Animated Series and Superman:
The Animated Series. Conversations with Joe R. Lansdale brings
together interviews from newspapers, magazines, and podcasts
conducted throughout the prolific author's career. The collection
includes conversations between Lansdale and other noted peers like
Robert McCammon and James Grady; two podcast transcripts that have
never before appeared in print; and a brand-new interview,
exclusive to the volume. In addition to shedding light on his body
of literary work and process as a writer, this collection also
shares Lansdale's thoughts on comics, atheism, and martial arts.
