Joe R. Lansdale cover gallery

This one is a bit patchy as Lansdale has been badly served by British publishers, with only a fifth of his books published in paperback over here. I met and interviewed him in 1995, having already been a fan of his horror short stories. He was in the UK  promoting Mucho Mojo and we had drinks and a long chat about his work. If I can find a copy of the interview – it appeared in Crime Time – I'll post it here on Bear Alley.
