I've received two copies of The Best of Joe R. Lansdale. They're uncorrected proofs, but Lansdale is so naughtily politically and socially uncorrected you probably won't notice. I'm reading one for my review, but that leaves one for some lucky bastard like you, or you, or maybe even you. So, I thought to myself, why not have another contest? So I did. Here it is.
Send me an email (through my About page) with your mailing address. (The information, as always, will remain confidential and I delete all entry emails after the contest.)
I count 16 stories, including the superb Bubba Ho-Tep, with a tired old Elvis finding his youth again by battling a tired older mummy. Godzilla's Twelve Step Program is a keeper, too. It's hard to go on the wagon after you've tasted the thrill of destruction, but with the support of his friends Gorgo and Reptilicus, he's trying his best to go straight. Did I mention this book is a devilish delight; a swig of Jack Daniel's after a bite of a hot mustard pretzel? Not quite my official review, but it will have to do until I finish reading it.
The Best of Joe R. Lansdale contest ends February 28th. I'll announce the winner on March 1st. So don't dawdle. And you've got to be 18 or older, so make sure you say that in your email: these are Joe R. Lansdale's stories after all.
This sounds too good to resist. I sent my e-mail. :)
