Deranged By Choice — Joe R. Lansdale

Multiple award-winning Joe Lansdale is perhaps best known for his mastery in creating eccentric characters, and Deranged by Choice displays two prime examples from different decades of his career. From 1985, we have the sadistic "Boys will be Boys," where Brian and Clyde both excel in finding creative ways to kill things, but Brian has a special treat in store at The House. "The Events Concerning a Nude Fold-Out Found in a Harlequin Romance" won the Bram Stoker Award in 1992, and follows a curious trio as they hunt for a serial killer that enjoys trashy romance novels. Whether discovering Lansdale for the first time, or revisiting old stomping grounds, this wicked pair is sure to delight and derange your senses for many years to come.
