Can the NYT be far behind? Our fight (as fans) for his recognition by the "lit'rary establishment" is done!I imagine Mr. L. could care less 8-)
He'll just continue to spin out the good stuff in written and spoken words and us fans will continue to revel in enjoyment!

It was quite a number of years since I was introduced and loved Lansdale books.

Including THE DRIVE-IN and a Batman book and later some of the Hap & Leonard books.

The famous quote was my friend, Mike, who handed me a book to borrow and I think it was: "If Clive Barker and Douglas Adams got together and had a kid, the writer would be this author Lansdale" -- so true.
