A
rollicking
novel
about
Nat
Love,
an
African-American
cowboy
with
a
famous
nickname:
Deadwood
Dick.
Young
Willie
is
on
the
run,
having
fled
his
small
Texas
farm
when
an
infamous
local
landowner
murdered
his
father.
A
man
named
Loving
takes
him
in
and
trains
him
in
the
fine
arts
of
shooting,
riding,
reading,
and
gardening.
When
Loving
dies,
Willie
re-christens
himself
Nat
Love
in
tribute
to
his
mentor,
and
heads
west.
In
Deadwood,
South
Dakota
Territory,
Nat
becomes
a
Buffalo
Soldier
and
is
befriended
by
Wild
Bill
Hickok.
After
winning
a
famous
shooting
match,
Nat's
peerless
marksmanship
and
charm
earn
him
the
nickname
Deadwood
Dick,
as
well
as
a
beautiful
woman.
But
the
hellhounds
are
still
on
his
trail,
and
they
brutally
attack
Nat
Love's
love.
Pursuing
the
men
who
have
driven
his
wife
mad,
Nat
heads
south
for
a
final,
deadly
showdown
against
those
who
would
strip
him
of
his
home,
his
love,
his
freedom,
and
his
life.

tale."—Paula

"[A] breakout novel . . . Addictive fun . . . A rollicking ride that's suspenseful, hilarious and satisfyingly redemptive. . . . Lansdale at his funniest and most energetic, with some of the most engaging writing you'll read this year. . . . Lansdale has unleashed something remarkable."—Dwight Silverman,Houston Chronicle
"Joe R. Lansdale takes on Nat Love and the legend of Deadwood Dick in his new novel,Paradise Sky,and hosannas should be sung to him for doing so. Paradise Sky is a remarkable achievement, an instant classic of Western lit. . . . It sometimes seems as if [Lansdale] has published around a thousand novels, and he, no doubt, will publish many more.Paradise Skymay well prove to be Lansdale's best."—W.K. Stratton,Dallas Morning News
"A deftly told yarn. Everything aboutParadise Skyis classic Western drama . . . You can almost smell the beans heating up on the campfire and see the rugged beauty of the frontier."—Evan Rodriguez,Austin American-Statesman
"Lansdale is a master storyteller and this novel is a prime example of his talent.Paradise Skyis at times exciting, inspiring, surreal, and heartbreaking. In other words, the novel is true to life."—Josef Hernandez,Examiner.com
"Beautiful literary prose . . . He fills each page with heartbreak, suspense, hope, and laughter."—Eric J. Guignard,New York Journal of Books
"Folksy, cinematic . . . Lansdale fills his pages with true-hearted heroes, dastardly scoundrels, and rollicking adventures."—Publishers Weekly (starred)
"Paradise Skyis a rowdy, funny, suspenseful, and often quite moving yarn."—Booklist (starred)
"This fast-paced Western with its multicultural cast of characters is a winner."—Library Journal (starred)
"It is a full-blooded western, served up unapologetically and masterfully Lansdale-style and set in the 1870s....Paradise Skyis an unblinking and unvarnished look at a rough-edged time and place in United States history, one that never becomes overburdened with the sorrow of tragic events while respecting the good times and recognizing their temporary nature. Lansdale is one of those very rare authors who can have his readers howling with laughter during one sentence while bringing tear to their eyes with the next."—BookReporter
PRAISE FOR JOE LANSDALE:
"Reading Joe Lansdale is like listening to a favorite uncle who just happens to be a fabulous storyteller."—Dean Koontz
"Too often overlooked in American literature is that lineage descending from our early humorists such as Bierce, and from Twain: regional, darkly comic, bizarre. That's where Joe Lansdale lives. He's very Texan, very American, very funny--and a stone brilliant writer."—James Sallis,author of Drive
