This 2016 collection offers a smorgasbord of short stories to entice new readers, and delight existing readers, to the "crime-fighting" (in some senses) East Texas "odd couple" Hap and Leonard. Adorable, eccentric, violent, this pair of fast friends and solidly "brothers" follow their own strict code of honor, for which there is a crying need almost everywhere and with almost everyone they encounter. Fast-paced and riveting, you can't look away; you've got to follow this duo wherever they go.
Any Joe Lansdale work is a treat to read but I'm especially fond of any work with Hap and Leonard in it. This collection is no exception as we are treated to several longer pieces and some standout short stories, especially The Boy Who Became Invisible. Fantastic short story that delivers a gut punch like none other. Highly recommended.
