Author Joe R. Lansdale is a horror staple. From his eccentric camp classic Bubba Ho-tep to gritty mysteries in the Hap and Leonard series, he’s a massive influence on today’s horror writers, from Stephan Graham Jones and Josh Malerman to Gabino Iglesias and Brian Keene. He’s a prolific writer, to say the least, and he shows no sign of stopping, especially with the upcoming release of The Essential Horrors of Joe R. Lansdale!
In the new collection, “Discover psychotic demon nuns, a god fueled by hatred, a psychopathic preacher, a weed-eater wielding blind man, cannibals, 80-year-old Elvis, undead strippers, flying ghost fish, elder gods, possessed cars, and the worst evil of all: man.“
Now, get an exclusive first look at the collection’s haunting cover:
Joe Hill, who has also cited Lansdale as a major influence, pens the collection’s introduction. These horror stories mash up crime, Southern Gothic, fantasy, and science fiction, filtered through a raw, violent world of dark humor and unique characters.
Most recently, Lansdale’s novel The Thicket was adapted into a Tubi original film starring Peter Dinklage and Juliette Lewis.
The Essential Horror of Joe R. Lansdale hits shelves on October 7, 2025. Pre-order your copy now.
