reviewed High Cotton: Selected Stories of Joe R. Lansdale on June 24, 2020 High Cotton: Selected Stories of Joe R. Lansdale
High Cotton is a collection of Joe R Lansdale's favorites of his own short stories, all culled from previous collections and anthologies, and each story is preceded by an introduction from the author. Written and published over the span of about 15 years, these stories show one of my favorite authors growing and evolving and trying out new things in the short form. The only other Lansdale collection I've read is By Bizarre Hands, so I'd previously read only a handful of the stories found here'but revisiting Lansdale is never a waste of time.
Because this is a "greatest hits", so to speak, the quality of these stories is crazy good, and the lineup is consistent. Only one story fell below 3 âï¸ for me (my rating of each story can be found below). High Cotton features a delectable assortment of horror, sci-fi, western, and some good-ole Lansdale combinations that just can't be labeled . . . and does it matter? I think not.
Joe R Lansdale is an author I've read lots from in the past couple years, but I'm still woefully behind on his short stories. He's so damn prolific! This collection pushed me to want to try more, and I'll get on that right quick.
