Sometimes you just want a little shot of surprise, like a cup of coffee with a bit of Irish in it. These are little shots and nothing more. Something to get you going in the morning, or to send you off to nighty-night land, maybe a wry chuckle in the middle of the day while visiting the throne. Not stories of Big Thinks, but little pops of pleasure and weirdness, sent to you directly from the mind of Joe R. Lansdale. Book jacket.
