A review by trin
Freezer Burn by Joe R. Lansdale

2.0

This one's got a lot of great ingredients -- interesting characters, outrageously pulpy elements, some great set pieces, Lansdale's usual sharp writing, dark humor -- but it doesn't really go anywhere interesting, or add up to much. Lansdale lays out the gothic/noir tropes with panache, but doesn't subvert them in any real way, or make from them something new.
