Freezer Burn — Joe R. Lansdale
ONE GUY ON ICE.
ONE LIVE GUY IN HOT WATER.
The scene is East Texas, Lansdale country. Loner, loser, and sometime armed robber Bill Roberts says goodbye to his dead momma in the back room after a bungled raid on a fireworks stand, escapes through a bug-infested swamp, and finds refuge in a traveling freak show. Among the pinheads, pumpkin heads, bearded ladies, and dog-men, no one is more welcoming than the ringmaster's scheming young wife. Here, in a world as ominous as its main attraction -- the mysterious frozen man whose presence haunts the troupe -- our "hero" will take one last desperate lunge at life's elusive brass ring...as Joe R. Lansdale breaks one of society's last taboos.
