Godspeed.

I am sure that the movie will not due the book justice. While this is one of my favorite reads (up there with The Catcher In The Rye, The Sun Also Rises, The World According to Garp, Atlas Shrugged and Shibumi), I'm afraid that the movie will be just meh.

Been a fan of Joe's since I stumbled upon him way back in the late '80s/early '90s when I read his seminal short-story collection By Bizarre Hands.
I cannot recollect how I "discovered" Joe, but his weird twist on the horror genre was refreshing (reminded me of when I stumbled upon Clive Barker's Books of Blood in 1985). He championed this strange PoMo Southern Gothic slant that was unheralded at the time.

His story "The Night They Missed The Horror Show" is nuts.

He has become somewhat more "mainstream" thanks to his Hap & Leonard novels (of which some were turned into a Sundance Channel series).

Started in on his short story collection Fist Full of Stories today and noticed that he has a new Hap/Leonard novel out, a new stand-alone novel dropping next year, and the conclusion to his Ned the Seal trilogy dropping next year, too, so I'm on a mini-kick.

Highly recommended and worth checking out if you dig modern horror, westerns, and twisted takes on detective stories. Also if you dig the works of Hiaasen and Leonard and Vachss.

Joe normally posts a new, free story on his website every Thursday, which is a great way to get into his stuff:

The Eastern Woodlands Fusion looks at the ecological issues, politics, creative arts, and outdoor sports and life of this vast North American territory's history, peoples, natural habitats and outdoor adventures.
