CONTENTS: Introduction and story notes The Nightrunners "The God of the Razor" "Not from Detroit" "King of Shadows" "The Shaggy House" "Incident on and Off a Mountain Road" "Janet Finds the Razor" From Publishers Weekly (Starred Review): "Lansdale's The Nightrunners (1987), the centerpiece of this chilling collection, set new standards for the depiction of graphic violence and is probably the best novel of its type between Psycho and The Silence of the Lambs... This upsetting look at the human capacity for evil breaks with crime novel conventions when a supernatural element enters the story in the form of the grotesque deity known as the God of All Things Sharp. Twenty years later, The Nightrunners retains its ability to awe and to horrify. Six short stories that grew out of the novel, one previously unpublished, round out the volume."
