Read in May, 2008
"The sun, like a boil on the bright blue ass of day, rolled gradually forward and spread its legs wide to reveal the pubic thatch of night, a hairy darkness in which stars crawled like lice, and the moon crabbed slowly upward like an albino dog tick striving for the anal gulch."

I think the best writing is writing that provokes a physical reaction. Lansdale makes my booty lock up.

Funny. Fantastic concept and characters. Tells a story with meaning and depth about existing vs. living.

Movie is faithful and good in its own right.

Yup, a mummy in East Texas, and a nursing home and the 'real' Elvis and a black JFK. Pretty hilarious.
