Call them steps on the way to greatness. Early stories and experiments, some published, none of them collected previously, many appearing here for the first time, along with Lansdale's frank commentary on growing as a writer. For a Few Stories More is the sequel to The Good, the Bad, and the Indifferent, and contains a full-length unpublished Ray Slater private eye novel, The Long Fall.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Commentary, A Lansdale Essential,
This review is from: For a Few Stories More (Paperback)
This collects early work by Hisownself... you should not be reading this unless you know who Hisownself is... If you do, and if you appreciate him, and if you can find this, read it. Some of the stories are hit and miss, but Lansdale includes a new introduction to each story detailing when it was written and how it came to be. Some of these intros are so funny you will fall off your seat. Especially the intro about how the Christian Right was about to conquer the world when he wrote the "face of Pat Boone" story.
Some of the stories are almost impossible to read, but they all offer a glimpse into the mind of one of the greatest writers alive today. Included is a "Ray Slater" novella that is a raw, well written early story that foreshadows the wry and hilarious detective style narration that has made his Hap and Leonard series so popular. That story trash talked the Hex comics that sent DC western star Jonah Hex into the future... I liked that series and have always wanted to see the series that brought Hex back into the Old West. Maybe someday... But anyway, a must for Lansdale fans.
