Lost Lansdale

When Bill and his friends accidentally witness a homicide by two hitmen known only as Fat Boy and Cobra Man, everyone but Bill is slaughtered. After escaping by the skin of his teeth, Bill runs to his Uncle Hank, who reluctantly gets involved, and together, they begin a clandestine takedown of Fat Boy and Cobra Man that leads them to something much darker, much more unspeakable than simple murder or revenge. Waltz of Shadows, a novel not for the feint of heart, is Lansdale at his darkest.

There goes the neighborhood! When young Jimmy spots a mysterious old house that seemingly materializes overnight on his otherwise neat and tidy block, he’s immediately spooked. The eerie abode, with its unsettling presence, stands in stark contrast to the well-maintained homes around it. As Jimmy’s parents remain oddly oblivious to the house’s existence, he and his best friend Bob embark on a quest to uncover the dark secrets lurking within its shadowy walls.
