*Soon to be a major motion picture starring Peter Dinklage*ALA Reading List Award for History, Short ListLove and vengeance at the dark dawn of the East Texas oil boom from Joe Lansdale, a true American original (Joe Hill, author ofHeart-Shaped Box).Jack Parker thought he'd already seen his fair share of tragedy. His grandmother was killed in a farm accident when he was barely five years old. His parents have just succumbed to the smallpox epidemic sweeping turn-of-the-century East Texas-orphaning him and his younger sister, Lula. Then catastrophe strikes on the way to their uncle's farm, when a traveling group of bank-robbing bandits murder Jack's grandfather and kidnap his sister. With no elders left for miles, Jack must grow up fast and enlist a band of heroes the likes of which has never been seen if his sister stands any chance at survival. But the best he can come up with is a charismatic, bounty-hunting dwarf named Shorty, a grave-digging son of an ex-slave named Eustace, and a street-smart woman-for-hire named Jimmie Sue who's come into some very intimate knowledge about the bandits (and a few members of Jack's extended family to boot).In the throes of being civilized, East Texas is still a wild, feral place. Oil wells spurt liquid money from the ground. But as Jack's about to find out, blood and redemption rule supreme. InThe Thicket, award-winning novelist Joe R. Lansdale lets loose like never before, in a rip-roaring adventure equal partsTrue GritandStand by Me-the perfect introduction to an acclaimed writer whose work has been called as funny and frightening as anything that could have been dreamed up by the Brothers Grimm-or Mark Twain (New York Times Book Review). | The Thicket by Joe R.
