Review:
Bill Roberts is not the brightest man in Texas, and neither are the two friends he persuades to rob the fire-cracker seller over the road. He needs the money. Welfare payments have stopped arriving, and his mother's corpse, out in the back bedroom, is beginning to really smell. The heist goes spectacularly wrong, leaving Bill with two dead friends, a face eaten by mosquitoes, and a rabid Texan police officer shouting "Cocksucker!" after every shot fired. When Bill finds refuge in a freakshow, his adventures are just beginning: more murder, a mysterious frozen effigy that exerts a mysterious hold over visitors, sex with scheming midgets...
Review:
Joe Lansdale has produced another novel in a long line of Texan badland fictions. He takes a rest in this book from his Hap and Leonard characters, but this has the same sleazy scenarios, the same witty dialogue and effortless writing. These elements tumble out in a riot of politically incorrect scenes. This is high-class American pulp fiction, and not just because Lansdale's other job is as a martial arts expert (although it concentrates the mind). The freakshow's pin-heads and perpetually fighting Siamese twins, the kindly manager Joe Frost and his sexually ambiguous partner Gidget, are expertly realised figures in a mythic and hugely enjoyable landscape. --Roger Luckhurst
