Lansdale's writing is like candy for the mind. He weaves words into a tapestry that fills one's senses. This story which apparently takes place in East Texas during the depression is a well-crafted narrative. Lansdale makes characters who are believable, resourceful, and sympathetic. As the story flows inexorably toward its climax, some secrets are revealed but all elements of the plot are satisfactorily addressed. An enjoyable read!
