Description

Cavalry officer Stephens wants to keep his troopers safe, but when he is pulled into the oldest conflict of them all, he must choose - to serve, or to die.

Saloon-hand Jacob wants to live a quiet life, play his fiddle, and sink a few beers. But something has come to his town-something old, hungry, and far from quiet.

Farmer Joe Clancy wants to keep his herd alive long enough to be able to sell them and save his farm. But first, he has to save his family, as death stalks the corrals.

To fight the growing menace, the three men must confront their inner demons and an all too real evil, one that threatens the lives of everyone it touches.

The new thriller novella Hot in December by Bram Stoker Award winning author Joe R. Lansdale will be launching on DarkRegions.com, Amazon.com and Amazon Kindle on Tuesday, December 3rd in ebook, trade paperback and signed limited edition hardcovers. The signed limited edition hardcovers of Hot in December will feature up to 5 interior illustrations by artist Erin Wells not offered in any other edition: http://www.darkregions.com/books/hot-in … r-lansdale

Description

A psychological thriller in the vein of Dean Koontz and Lee Child, Hot in December is a fast-paced and entertaining novella from the author of Edge of Dark Water, The Bottoms and the Hap and Leonard novel series.

One death is only the beginning for Tom and his wife Kelly who witness a fast-driving car killing their innocent neighbor in the street.

Tom describes the driver to the police, but there is something he didn't anticipate: the driver belongs to a powerful criminal gang in East Texas.

The criminals make Ron and his family a target, abducting his wife Kelly and threatening his daughter. Now Tom must look to old war comrades for help in a brutal and unforgiving struggle to rescue his wife and bring justice to the notorious gang.




Praise for Hot in December and the fiction of Joe R. Lansdale

"Stellar character development, riveting twists and a disregard for any all and all stereotypical rules, Hot in December is one of 2013's true treasures." - Horror Novel Reviews

"A storyteller in the great American tradition of Ambrose Bierce and Mark Twain." - Boston Globe

"Joe R. Lansdale has a folklorist's eye for telling detail and a front-porch raconteur's sense of pace." - The New York Times Book Review

"One of the greatest yarn spinners of his generation: fearless, earthy, original, manic and dreadfully funny." - Dallas Morning News

"Reading Joe Lansdale is like listening to a favorite uncle who just happens to be a fabulous storyteller." - Dean Koontz

"Joe R. Lansdale's fellow Texans would call Joe a 'straight shooter.' That's what makes his writing so good-no BS involved. Joe's work is alternately scary, funny as hell, disturbing, but always (and most importantly) memorable." - Bruce Campbell

"Hot in December is classic Lansdale: A rough, violent tale of blood and revenge told in his own self’s one-of-a-kind voice. Highly recommended." - Horror World

"(Hot in December) is written and sized to be read briskly, with little stop – perfect for long road trips or waits – and Lansdale is brutal in shoving the reader deeper and deeper into Tom’s troubles. By the time you hit page 3, you will keep turning until the final page." - Bloody Disgusting

"The author doesn’t hold back on the violence or the humor he injects into the direst of situations. Like all stories by Mr. Lansdale, the reader is captured in the first couple of pages and quickly finds himself literally compelled to finish the story come hell or high water." - Hellnotes

"...the story never stalls and the action keeps on coming. There is plenty of Lansdale’s trademark, off-beat humour and the violence is visceral and explosive." - Crime Fiction Lover

"Stellar character development, riveting twists and a disregard for any all and all stereotypical rules, Hot in December is one of 2013's true treasures." - Horror Novel Reviews
