About the Book:

Joe R. Lansdale began writing non-fiction articles with his mother in the early 70’s. His early fiction output consisted of crime stories in Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine and horror stories in places like The Horror Show and Rod Serling’s The Twilight Zone Magazine. In the years since, he has not limited himself to any one genre. Unless you want to call his the “Joe R. Lansdale Mojo Genre”.

This volume details and organizes the “Joe R. Lansdale Mojo Genre” so that collectors (serious or casual) have a concise listing of the fiction and non-fiction created by one of America’s most popular authors.

Time Twist
Joe R. Lansdale
writing as M. Dean Bayer
(excerpt)

Thinking back on how George Bradley had almost been hit by a car, Alonzo Webb knew immediately that he had the perfect solution to his wife’s affair. He would murder her lover, three days ago.

The Ticket
(excerpt)

Ronald was frightened because he had lost his ticket. His wife was a tyrant about such things and he feared having to hear her bitch so much, he was thinking about running away from home, but that didn’t satisfy him either because she might catch him and then there would really be hell to pay. He stood outside his house in the shadows and wondered where the ticket might be. He had searched all his pockets and had turned his wallet inside out looking for it. He remembered getting it and putting it on his person, but he could not remember where, and now he was sure it did not matter anyway because he had lost it somehow. Maybe when he took change out to buy a Coke.

All he knew was it was gone and his wife who collected these things for her records would be waiting behind the door, sitting in the chair by the table with that disapproving look on her face—or was that her normal look? He could not remember seeing her any other way now—and she would stand very slowly, put one hand on the table, lean towards him and say smugly, hoping that he would not have it, “Where’s your ticket?”

El Diablo
A General Proposal
(excerpt)

A man is hanged at midnight by a mob on October the 31^st. An evil highway man named Jack Sanders. He is cut down by the devil himself, and for amusement, the devil, breathes life into his chest.

The man revives, one foot in hell, one on earth. He calls himself The Hanged Man and he is the devil’s servant. He roams the Southwest, leading a gang of ruthless outlaws, looting, raping, murdering. Even the army is afraid of them.
