Scary Rednecks for $2.99

New eBook from Crossroads. Scary Rednecks came out in 1999 and exploded on the market. If you missed it, you missed readings filled with flying cheese balls, natty bo, and fishing boats. Here are some blurbs about it from the days of yore:

Original Cover

Regarding Scary Rednecks and Other Inbred Horrors: The more I read and re-read this collection, the more I am moved by the stories. I really can't recommend this one enough. I will say that it's more than its cover promises. Several of the stories are as touching as they are chilling. A few are hilarious. Almost all of them are absorbing. This is impressive. Doug Clegg

· Regarding Scary Rednecks and Other Inbred Horrors: This is better than the hype. I don't want to go overboard, but stories in the book will remind many readers of the good stuff by Edward Lee and Joe Lansdale and probably Bill Faulkner. There were times, reading some of them, when I was put in mind of Flannery O'Connor. Richard Laymon

· Regarding Scary Rednecks and Other Inbred Horrors: Once a year, the field of horror literature produces a short story, novel, anthology or collection that pushes the limits, breaks new ground and raises the genre to new heights. This is such a book. Their voice is unique, a mix of Edward Lee, Tom Piccirilli, Nietzsche, Sam Kinison, and Steinbeck. Place those ingredients in a blender, shake well, and the result is this book. Brian Keene

Paperback copies are very expensive, running several hundred dollars for the first edition and at least $50 for the limited. But here you can get it for $2.99.
