Joe R. Lansdale: Flaming Zeppelins (USA 2010) From the Publisher: Leap from a flaming zeppelin with the stars of the Wild West Show in a desperate escape from an imperial Japanese enclave. Wash up upon the island of Doctor Moreau, in mortal danger from his unnatural experiments (ignorant that Dracula approaches by sea). Unite with Jules Verne, Passpartout, and Mark Twain on a desperate voyage to the burning streets of London, infested with killer squid from outer space courtesy of H. G. Wells' time machine. It's a raucous steam-powered locomotive of shoot-'em-up westerns, dime novels, comic books, and pulp fiction, as only Lansdale, the high-priest of Texan weirdness, could tell. Joe R. Lansdale: Flaming Zeppelins. The Adventures of Ned the Seal. Tachyon Publications, ISBN: 9781616960025 (November, 2010), 336 p., $14.95.
