One of the most original and versatile authors today, Joe R. Lansdale garners critical acclaim and a growing readership with each work of suspense, horror, western, or graphic fiction. In this masterpiece, he blends elements of these genres into a tale of regional marvels and dark suspense. Under the relentless Texas sun, Hap Collins finds solace in fantasies while working in the rose fields, while his friend Leonard Pine's Uncle Chester faces mental decline in the slums of LaBorde. Chester's condition softens his disdain for his gay nephew, and he neglects the crack house next door, as well as the secret buried beneath his floorboards. He does, however, construct a "battle tree" to ward off black magic. When Leonard and Hap clean out Chester's house, they uncover a small skeleton wrapped in pornographic magazines, linking an unsolved series of child murders to Leonard's late guardian. While Hap wants to involve the police, Leonard, familiar with the unspoken rules of their neighborhood, persuades him to help clear Chester's name without outside interference. Together, they confront the darkest truths, intertwining themes of race, romance, sex, and death in a narrative rich with Texas Gothic suspense.
