Strangely, there or a lot of cases like this, one inspired Freezer Burn, and there have been many since, and there were many before. Again, thanks for your time and effort.

Police: Man lived with mom's corpse for weeks Canadian Press May. 6, 2003 07:00 AM EDMONTON - An Edmonton man who is alleged to have lived with his mother's corpse for several weeks after her death turned himself in to police over the weekend. David Joseph Lafantaisie, 42, was charged with second-degree murder and offering an indignity to a body. Police charged Lafantaisie after the discovery of an elderly woman's body in a rental home in the city's northeast. Neighbors identified the woman as 71-year-old Grace Lafantaisie. Homicide Detective Albert Lacher said she had probably been dead for several weeks. An autopsy showed she had been suffocated. A neighbor who asked not to be identified said Lafantaisie told him he was an unemployed welder who had been injured in a fall from a roof he was repairing. When he asked Lafantaisie about Grace, whom he hadn't seen for a couple of weeks, the son told him she was in Ontario attending a funeral. The Lafantaisies had moved in two years ago after the family of Erika Nordby - the miracle baby who nearly froze to death after venturing outside in freezing temperatures - moved out. Erika, then 12 months old, made national headlines in February 2001 when she wandered out of the house in the wee hours. Her mother, Leyla Nordby, found her several hours later lying face-down in the snow-covered back yard, wearing only her diaper and a T-shirt. Paramedics pronounced the child clinically dead but she was later revived in hospital - one of only four or five other children in the world to survive such freezing. "I think they should just bulldoze that house," said the neighbor. 303 May 23 2003 at 13:41:04 Fullname: Joe Lansdale Email: www.joerlansdale Comments: George: Is it the site you want me to see or a specific article? I couldn't get it to come up using your letters and numbers. Am I doing something wrong?

When the Orbit Drive-In comes up, click on that, then click on the "Now Playing at the Orbit" box on the far right-hand side of the page. That will bring up "All about Joe R. Lansdale." Well, everything but his sexual preferences. Tab down the page to October 17, 2002, where it says a "mojo treasure trove," and click on that. This will bring up a long list of books by Joe that are for sell. Some of them are real collector's items and are expensive, but the majority of the books are priced below what their orignal retail cost was, plus you can get it autographed and inscribed by "HisOwnSelf." At the bottom of the page are instructions for how to go about ordering the books. Some could be sold out already. You'll need to go through Dale, either by e-mail or telephone. I have to tell that this is the best deal in Texas since Dr. Pepper was created!!! 308 May 14 2003 at 21:52:44 Fullname: Joe Lansdale Email: www.joerlansdale Comments: Veil's Visit and Death by Chili, two Hap and Leonard stories, will soon be reprinted in MAD DOG SUMMER AND OTHER STORIES, so it won't be necessary to pay fifty bucks for those two stories unless you collect. The collection will contain one long new piece, a novella in fact, plus a novella that's only seen print once, Mad Dog Summer, the novella version of THE BIG BLOW, an article, plus a couple other stories, one which has never been collected. Comes out soon, but I'm not sure exactly when. Other news, BUMPER CROP, a collection of short stories is coming out soon from GOLDEN GRYPHON. As is the trade paper of the collectiong HIGH COTTON. A short novel, FLAMING LONDON, which is kind of a sequel to ZEPPELINS WEST is also forthcoming from Subterranean Press. 309 May 14 2003 at 15:56:17 Fullname: Dale Email: sunnyjoe@sinanju.net Comments: The for sale list is found at http://www.geocities.com/joerlansdale/forsale.htm 310 May 14 2003 at 14:07:31 Fullname: Bud Simmerman Email: Simmerman81@cs.com Comments: That's in a little thing Subterranean Press put out called "Veil's Visit." I have seen it on Abebooks.com selling for $50. You might check some of the other on-line rare and used book places for it. Hope this helps! 311 May 14 2003 at 14:01:23 Fullname: Jason Blemings Email: jblemings@aol.com Comments: Where on the site? I couldn't find any place that I could purchase the stories? Also, does anybody know where I can read and/or get a copy of "Death by Chili"- Hap/Leonard short? 312 May 14 2003 at 00:07:17 Fullname: Wayne Email: Comments: Jason, Before you order any more books by Joe from E-Bay, check out his website. Joe has a lot of 1st edition hardcovers for sell at great prices, plus he'll autograph and inscribe them to you. I picked up a lot of my collection directly from him and quite often his asking price was half of what the book was actually going for on other websites. It's definitely worth checking out!!! 313 May 13 2003 at 14:35:56 Fullname: Jason Blemings Email: Jblemings@aol.com Comments: Hi Joe, Just wanted to thank you for doing what you do- I picked up a copy of A Fine Dark Line at my local library on the "what's new" shelf without ever hearing of your work, it looked intereting so I checked it out. Once I started I read it in 2 days and loved it- I had finally found a new author I dug. Since that time I've been reading your stuff non-stop and enjoying it more and more (got through The Bottoms, Freezer Burn, Captains, Mucho Mojo, Bad Chili, Rumble Tumble). I just ordered Savage Season & Two Bear Mambo from eBay, and I can't wait 'til they get here. I am looking forward to the return of Hap & Leonard, what great characters. Any chance they might get picked up for the silver screen? Thanks Again! 314 May 12 2003 at 12:12:25 Fullname: Stu Email: Comments: Joe -- You get a mention in my column about prose writers who have also worked in comics. The column’s at http://www.thealienonline.net/columns/wp_may03.asp?tid=7&scid=64&iid=1633 if you fancy taking a look. 315 May 10 2003 at 23:10:26 Fullname: Bud Simmerman Email: Simmerman81@cs.com Comments: Regarding: Gary Raisor. He also has a book out called Graven Images(Overlook Press) that was supposed to be the first part of a trilogy, but I heard he had dropped the other two. Don't know why, because it seemed to be a promising start. Funny and pretty brutal. Worth a look if you can get a copy! << 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 >>
