Joe R. Lansdale — Another Strong ACT OF LOVE Review
Joe R. Lansdale’s early serial killer novel, Act of Love, inches closer to publication—it’s at the printer right now—and continues to garner positive notice:
From Fantasy Literature:
“Originally published in 1981, Joe R Lansdale’s Act of Love is a serial-killer thriller. A year before Thomas Harris’s Red Dragon took us into the mind of a sadistic serial killer, Lansdale was doing it, giving us chapters in the point of view of a necrophiliac, sadistic, misogynist cannibal as he terrorizes the city of Houston, Texas… In the 2000s, articulate, witty serial killers like Jeff Lindsay’s Dexter took the stage, making us think that maybe psychopaths weren’t so bad. Joe R Lansdale begs to differ. After you read Act of Love, you will, too.”
