I was not just disappointed but angered by the deceit. Now Mr. Lansdale is a negative stain and I'll not read another of his books. The same goes for the publisher.Onion Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10949855735031904470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572136475100574200.post-69766643515973411822017-02-28T12:42:20.074-06:002017-02-28T12:42:20.074-06:00hahaha The baseball/Twilight reference.

I like the cover though and have to admit to watching some roller derby from time to time.
