5.0 out of 5 stars
More for kids than adults., May 22, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Something Lumber This Way Comes (The Lost Lansdale Series) (Hardcover)
Vol. 2 of The Lost Lansdale series is a children's story. It's a skimpy tale of innocence and growing up, of adults vs. kids and just a smooth story that only Joe Lansdale could pull off.
The neighborhood is looking sick...and 2 boys decide it is because of a new house that showed up recently and without any of the adult's noticing. The kids decide to stalk it at night to see if what they think is true.
What they find out is so out-of-this-world and unbelievable that when they are confronted with saving their neighborhood, all they can do is go by instinct. The scenes of this fight are so vivid and hilarious, and the ending is solid. A good, if somewhat pricey, story that may go over very well with kids more so than adults.
