BLACK LEATHER REQUIRED

Despair. Betrayal. Violent death. Scary monsters. Murder most foul. Things blowing up real good. Dinosaurs. Great big guns. Cannibalism, necrophilia, drug abuse, scuffed psyches, and shattered hearts. Good guys, bad guys, and worse things waiting. Sound like fun? “This man must sound the Degüello when he sits down to write,” says F. Paul Wilson of the person whose name you’ll find on the spine here. No quarter. No prisoners. No deals. It’s too easy to hang that deadly wrong turn and crash face-first into your worst nightmares . . . or most fervent desires, as these thirteen stories demonstrate. In Sedalia, you’ll meet a modern-day drover on a dinosaur roundup; then, in Kamikaze Butterflies, you’ll see that cowboy romanticism is subverted. In Bad Guy Hats, you’ll meet brand-new monsters who look just like the people you ignore in 7-Elevens. And if you read Life Partner or Sand Sculpture, you may never step out of your front door again!
