Returns, Jack Ketchum
Consolation, Gary Braunbeck
Haceldama, Gary Braunbeck
Novellas:
The Turtle Boy, Kealan Patrick Burke

haha. No Mark, it is not. And while you're at it, neither is The Ocean at the End of the Lane. You know I gotta slide those in because of the readers that read only horror, or will only be excited about a read because it's horror. By the time they've figured out that I've lied to them, it's too late because they're already sucked into the story Also, stop being annoying please  Jason |

We wouldn't want the multitudes that come here miss out on a chick YA book. LOL. I know. It's probably the wrong crowd for a Lansdale selling point; I'd assume you guys are already aware of him
Just so you know, I added all of your dumb sci-fi novels to my TBR list, so I can complain to you about them after I read em

This will take me a while to write, because there are so many stories I love -- ha ha!

This is a response I sent to PS Publishing last winter when they asked for list of favorite short stories:
Read the interesting bit in the last newsletter about the best short stories of all time and your request for lists from readers.
So here is my list. Certainly not a best-of list, but those stories that have stuck with me over the last 30 years or so. A few old ones, but most are more recently written. I planned on a quick list of 10, which quickly grew to 20, and I finally capped it at 30.
A few self-imposed rules on coming up with the list:
1. Only one story per author
2. Short stories only, tried to stay away from novella length works (novellas would be a whole different list)
3. Only included what I could remember off the top of my head (i.e., didn't check any book or internet references)
Far Below by Fred Barbour
The Last Will & Testament of Jacqueline Ess by Clive Barker
Zero Hour by Ray Bradbury
Blood Brothers by Richard Chizmar
Meeting with Medusa by Arthur C. Clark
Feeders & Eaters by Neil Gaiman
The Brasher Girl by Ed Gorman
Ghost Trap by Rick Hautala
20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill
The Devil's Smile by Glen Hirshberg
Bunnies in August by Brian Keene
Forever by Jack Ketchum
The Reach by Stephen King
The Night They Missed the Horror Show by Joe Lansdale
Exploration Team by Murray Leinster
Pickman's Model by HP Lovecraft
Sandkings by George RR Martin
Brazo de Dios by Elizabeth Massie
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet by Richard Matheson
The Yard by William Nolan
Lydia, Leaving by Philip Nutman
The Autopsy by Michael Shea
Dying in Bangkok by Dan Simmons
Home & Hearth by Angela Slatter
The Ocean & All Its Devices by William B. Spencer
The Innsmouth Heritage by Brian Stableford
Dracula's Guest by Bram Stoker
The Church on the Island by Simon K. Unsworth

Best Regards,
Brian
