It's 1933 in East Texas and the Depression lingers in the air like a slow moving storm. Here's the book outline: A thriller with echoes of William Faulkner and Harper Lee, The Bottoms is classic American storytelling in its truest, darkest, and more affecting form. With a story and script this good, we have a chance to make a bonafide classic. The screenwriter Brent Hanley and I have been looking to team up again, since Frailty and when we read Joe's book The Bottoms, we knew we had hit pay dirt. His stories and characters are vivid, original and indelible. He lives in Nacogdoches, Texas with his wife, dog, and two cats.I have been a big fan of Joe Lansdale's writing since the Hap And Leonard novels.

He is currently co-producing a TV series, "Hap and Leonard" for the Sundance Channel and films including The Bottoms, based on his Edgar Award-winning novel, with Bill Paxton and Brad Wyman, and The Drive-In, with Greg Nicotero. His novella Bubba Hotep was adapted to film by Don Coscarelli, starring Bruce Campbell and Ossie Davis. Hall (Dexter), Sam Shepard (Black Hawk Down), and Don Johnson (Miami Vice). Lansdale has received the Edgar Award, eight Bram Stoker Awards, the Horror Writers Association Lifetime Achievement Award, the British Fantasy Award, the Grinzani Cavour Prize for Literature, the Herodotus Historical Fiction Award, the Inkpot Award for Contributions to Science Fiction and Fantasy, and many others.Ī major motion picture based on Lansdale's crime thriller Cold in July was released in May 2014, starring Michael C.
