Edge of Dark Water
Autor Joe R. Lansdaleen Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 feb 2013
May
Lynn
was
once
a
pretty
girl
who
dreamed
of
becoming
a
Hollywood
star.
Now
she's
dead,
her
body
dredged
up
from
the
Sabine
River.
Sue Ellen, May Lynn's strong-willed teenage friend, sets out to dig up May Lynn's body, burn it to ash, and take those ashes to Hollywood to spread around. If May Lynn can't become a star, then at least her ashes will end up in the land of her dreams.
Along with her friends Terry and Jinx and her alcoholic mother, Sue Ellen steals a raft and heads downriver to carry May Lynn's remains to Hollywood.
Only problem is, Sue Ellen has some stolen money that her enemies will do anything to get back. And what looks like a prime opportunity to escape from a worthless life will instead lead to disastrous consequences. In the end, Sue Ellen will learn a harsh lesson on just how hard growing up can really be.

"EDGE OF DARK WATER describes a trip downriver that is one-halfHuck Finn, one-halfDeliverance, and entirely Joe Lansdale. If you aren't familiar with the work of this true American original, and master of hillbilly noir, climb in the boat and hang on for dear life: the water is rough."—Joe Hill, author of the New York Times bestsellerHornsandA Heart-Shaped Box
"Joe Lansdale has long been one of our finest and most difficult to classify writers. You can call his writing supernatural, horror, crime, or plain Southern, as long as you remember to call it great. Always a generous storyteller, in EDGE OF DARK WATER he offers a beautifully spun tale of life in the sticks, friendship and mortality, and tells it with the wit, humor and pure-dee power we've come to expect of him."—Daniel Woodrell, author ofWinter's Bone
"Joe Lansdale always transports me. In EDGE OF DARK WATER, he takes me to the mysterious brooding landscape of Twain and Faulkner, with a compelling twist that is all Lansdale."—David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of First Blood and Creepers
"Joe R. Lansdale has a folklorist's eye for telling detail and a front-porch raconteur'ssense of pace."—The New York Times Book Review
"Scenes that stand your hair on end while you fall out of your chair laughing."—Chicago Sun-Times, onLeather Maiden
