Early life

Lansdale grew up in East Texas, the son of a mechanic. [4]

Career

Lansdale's writing is characterized by a deep sense of irony, and features strange or absurd situations or characters, such as Elvis Presley and John F. Kennedy battling a soul-sucking Egyptian mummy in a nursing home (the plot of his Bram Stoker Award-nominated novella, Bubba Ho-Tep , which was made into a movie by Don Coscarelli). [5]

His Hap and Leonard series of twelve novels, four novellas, and three short story collections feature Hap Collins and Leonard Pine who live in the fictional town of Laborde, in East Texas, where they find themselves solving a variety of crimes. [5] Hap is a white working class laborer in his mid forties who once protested against the war in Vietnam and spent time in federal prison rather than be drafted, and Leonard is a gay black Vietnam vet. Both of them are accomplished fighters. The stories (told from Hap's point of view) are violent, and characterized by strong language and sexual situations. Lansdale depiction of East Texas is essentially "good" but blighted by racism, ignorance, urban and rural deprivation and corrupt public officials. His novels are also characterized by sharp humor and "wisecracking" dialogue. [6] These books have been adapted into a TV series for the SundanceTV channel [7] and a series of graphic novels in 2017. [8] Season 2 is based on the second Hap and Leonard novel Mucho Mojo and season 3, which premiered on 3/7/18, is based on the third novel The Two-Bear Mambo . [9] Much of Lansdale's work has been issued and re-issued as limited editions by Subterranean Press [10] and as trade paperbacks by Vintage Crime/Black Lizard Publications. [11]

Lansdale's novel titled Fender Lizards was published in November 2015 by Subterranean Press.

[14] On January 31, 2017 Coco Butternut: A Hap and Leonard Novella was released by Subterranean Press [15] and Rusty Puppy was released by Mulholland Books February 21, 2017. [16] A new mosaic novel titled Blood and Lemonade was released on March 14, 2017. [17]

[19] His newest Hap and Leonard release is a novel titled Jackrabbit Smile and released March 27, 2018. [20] He also, along with his daughter Kasey, released a collection of Dana Roberts mysteries titled Terror is Our Business: Dana Roberts' Casebook of Horrors, published in May 2018 by Cutting Block Books. [21] In October 2018 a short story collection titled Driving to Geronimo's Grave and Other Stories has been published by Subterranean Press as a limited edition. His most recent novel is titled More Better Deals and was published by Mulholland Books. Its hardcover and Kindle releases were on July 21, 2020. [22] Since then he released a novel Big Lizard co-written with his son Keith Lansdale released as a limited edition of 1500 hard-copies published by Short, Scary Tales Publications and is also available through Amazon Kindle. [23] His novel is titled Moon Lake and was released by Mulholland Books on June 22, 2021.
