Joe R. Lansdale has been publishing fiction since 1981 and has written hundreds of novels, novellas, short stories, comic books, and screenplays across horror, mystery, western, and crime fiction. Born in Gladewater, Texas, in 1951, he draws heavily on East Texas settings and culture, mixing Southern Gothic atmosphere with pulp fiction energy and dark humor.
His Hap and Leonard series, featuring a white working-class laborer and his gay Black Vietnam-vet best friend solving crimes in East Texas, has run for twelve novels and was adapted into a Sundance Channel TV series in 2016. His standalone novels include The Bottoms (Edgar Award winner), Cold in July (adapted into a film), and the cult favorite Bubba Ho-Tep, in which Elvis Presley and JFK fight a soul-sucking mummy in a nursing home.
Lansdale’s work resists easy categorization. He has written everything from brutal westerns to absurdist horror to literary coming-of-age novels, and his short fiction collections are among the most respected in the genre. With over 600 published works, he is one of the most prolific and decorated genre writers in American fiction.
