Praise for Of Mice and Minestrone "There's a place in East Texas where story shades into memory, where violence and tenderness are just part of the wonder of living, and that's precisely where Joe Lansdale lives, and writes from, and we're all the better for it. The eating's pretty good there, too, as Hap's recipes more than attest. You leave this book hungry, both for food and to start the whole series all over again, live through it one more time, maybe just live there a while." -Stephen Graham Jones, author of Mongrels and The Only Good Indians, Praise for Of Mice and Minestrone "There's a place in East Texas where story shades into memory, where violence and tenderness are just part of the wonder of living, and that's precisely where Joe Lansdale lives, and writes from, and we're all the better for it. The eating's pretty good there, too, as Hap's recipes more than attest. You leave this book hungry, both for food and to start the whole series all over again, live through it one more time, maybe just live there a while." --Stephen Graham Jones, author of Mongrels and The Only Good Indians "An absolute treasure trove for Hap and Leonard fans. Going back to the beginning only deepens our love and appreciation for these guys. This collection proves once again why Joe Lansdale is one of our very best." --Ace Atkins, New York Times Bestselling author of The Shameless "I enjoyed every tale in this collection. The best was the title story which was pretty dark and incredibly sad. I really need to read more of Hap and Leonard's adventures if this book is an example of what they get up to." --Book Lover's Boudoir Praise for Joe R. Lansdale "A folklorist's eye for telling detail and a front-porch raconteur's sense of pace." -- New York Times Book Review "An American original" --Joe Hill, author of Heart-Shaped Box "A terrifically gifted storyteller." -- Washington Post Book Review "Like gold standard writers Elmore Leonard and the late Donald Westlake, Joe R. Lansdale is one of the more versatile writers in America. -- Los Angeles Times "A zest for storytelling and gimlet eye for detail." -- Entertainment Weekly "Lansdale is an immense talent." -- Booklist "Lansdale is a storyteller in the Texas tradition of outrageousness...but amped up to about 100,000 watts." -- Houston Chronicle "Lansdale's been hailed, at varying points in his career, as the new Flannery O'Connor, William Faulkner-gone-madder, and the last surviving splatterpunk...sanctified in the blood of the walking Western dead and righteously readable." -- Austin Chronicle, "There's a place in East Texas where story shades into memory, where violence and tenderness are just part of the wonder of living, and that's precisely where Joe Lansdale lives, and writes from, and we're all the better for it. The eating's pretty good there, too, as Hap's recipes more than attest. You leave this book hungry, both for food and to start the whole series all over again, live through it one more time, maybe just live there a while." --Stephen Graham Jones, author of Mongrels and The Only Good Indians, -- Blogcritics "Kress combines intriguing scientific speculation with strong human drama to create a finely crafted story." -- Asimov's Science Fiction Praise for the Nebula Award-winner After the Fall, Before the Fall, During the Fall "The coming-of-age story for the human race. Nancy Kress has written a chillingly plausible tale of the end of the world." --Mary Robinette Kowal, Hugo Award-winning author of The Calculating Stars " After the Fall, Before the Fall, During the Fall is a highly intelligent, sublimely understated glimpse into humankind's future--it's comparable in thematic impact to Walter M. Miller Jr.'s classic A Canticle for Leibowitz, and that is saying something." --Paul Goat Allen, Barnes & Noble.com "This is Nancy Kress in top form, but more importantly, this is SF done right." --Daryl Gregory, author of Spoonbenders "Haunting, memorable." --The Book Smugglers "Nancy Kress displays all her usual strengths: strong plotting, fast-paced action, complex and interesting characters, thought-provoking speculation." --Lisa Goldstein, author of The Red Magician and Ivory Apples "The book is typical Kress, which means impossible to put down." --Jack McDevitt, author of Infinity Beach Praise for the Nebula and Locus Award-winner Yesterday's Kin "Consider this novella one of the most extreme versions of 'Can women have it all?' in recent fiction, with serious family conflict and alien predators to boot." -- Glamour "Science-fiction fans will luxuriate in the dystopian madness, while even nonfans will find an artful critique of humanity's ability to cooperate in the face of a greater threat." -- Kirkus " Yesterday's Kin gets my vote as this summer's most inviting introduction to science fiction for new readers." --Gary K. Wolfe, Chicago Tribune "One of the strongest stories of the year to date." --Gardner Dozois, editor of The Year's Best Science Fiction series "Sparely constructed and cleverly resolved, Yesterday's Kin provides everything readers need for an immersive plunge into a frightening, fascinating, and inescapable predicament." -- Seattle Times, Praise for Of Mice and Minestrone "There's a place in East Texas where story shades into memory, where violence and tenderness are just part of the wonder of living, and that's precisely where Joe Lansdale lives, and writes from, and we're all the better for it. The eating's pretty good there, too, as Hap's recipes more than attest.
