In the field of country noir--the dark side of rural and small-town America--Lansdale staked his claim to East Texas with The Nightrunners.

A '66 Chevy bears down on the countryside, with a carful of vicious teenagers and evil of Biblical proportions, in this terrifying morality tale of sex and violence.

Here's what Publishers Weekly just said in its starred review: Lansdale's The Nightrunners (1987).

set new standards for the depiction of graphic violence and is probably the best novel of its type between Psycho and The Silence of the Lambs .

This upsetting look at the human capacity for evil breaks with crime novel conventions when a supernatural element enters the story in the form of the grotesque deity known as the God of All Things Sharp.

The Nightrunners retains its ability to awe and to horrify.
