Recenzii

THE THICKET presents Joe Lansdale at his finest - which is to say, at the high-water mark of all storytelling. Nuanced, compelling, darkly humorous and remarkably vivid, THE THICKET quickly becomes a one-sitting novel, told in a voice that would have called Huck Finn himself in from the river. Lansdale marries story and style in a way most writers never achieve. -- Michael Koryta, author of THE PROPHET Too often overlooked in American literature is that lineage descending from our early humorists such as Bierce, and from Twain: regional, darkly comic, bizarre. That's where Joe Lansdale lives. He's very Texan, very American, very funny - and a stone brilliant writer -- James Sallis, author of Drive Praise for EDGE OF DARK WATER . The pace never slackens, the writing is elegance personified, and the story tugs at the heartstrings Daily Mail Joe Lansdale is one of the dark kings of modern mystery fiction, a master of the genre. His name deserves to be whispered with the greats. John Connolly Lansdale has the delight in language of the best raconteur; he also delivers some wince-inducing violence and can crank up the tension to screaming point. Metro A terrific and memorable novel that sticks in the mind long after it is finished Canberra Times A charming Gothic tale...an adventure as funny and frightening as anything that could have been dreamed up by the Brothers Grimm - or Mark Twain New York Times Book Review EDGE OF DARK WATER describes a trip downriver that is one-half Huck Finn, one-half Deliverance, and entirely Joe Lansdale. Joe Hill The strongest, truest, and most pitch-perfect narration since Huck Finn's. Marvelous and terrifying, EDGE OF DARK WATER is the result of real genius at work. A masterpiece. Dan Simmons Alternately scary, funny as hell, disturbing, but always (and most importantly) memorable. Bruce Campbell Joe Lansdale has long been one of our finest and most difficult to classify writers... In EDGE OF DARK WATER he offers a beautifully spun tale of life in the sticks, friendship and mortality, and tells it with the wit, humor and pure-deep power we've come to expect of him. Daniel Woodrell Dark and comic, bleak and terrifying, romantic and endearing...This, I kid you not, is the Great American Novel of the year. CrimeTime
