Bad Chili

fullDescription

Hap and Leonard is now a Sundance TV series.
With his trademark knack for gut-busting laughter and head-splitting action, Joe R. Lansdale serves up a bubbling cauldron of murder and mayhem that only he could create.

Hap Collins has just returned home from a gig working on an off shore oil rig. With a new perspective on life, Hap wants to change the way he's living, and shoot the straight and narrow. That is until the man who stole Leonard Pine's boyfriend turns up headless in a ditch and Leonard gets fingered for the murder. Hap vows to clear Leonard's name, but things only get more complicated when Leonard's ex shows up dead. To the police it is just a matter of gay-biker infighting, but to Hap and Leonard murder is always serious business, and these hit a little to close to home.

     "Four fisted action. . . . packs one hell of a wallop. . . . Like 10 alarm chili, [its] pretty strong stuff."--People"Hilarious. . . . Lansdale is a terrifically gifted storyteller with a sharp country boy wit."--The Washington Post Book World"Colorful.... Lunatic.... Like a twister Lansdale's book has a lot of energy."--Chicago Tribune"One of publishing's best kept secrets."--Dallas Morning News"Funny.... Flashy.... True Art."

     Starred review from August 1, 1994
     The opening attack of a rabid squirrel leaves Hap Collins, returning from Mucho Mojo and Two-Bear Mambo, with a prescription for a series of shots. Luckily, Nurse Brett is a doll, albeit somewhat foul-mouthed. Hap and his tough, gay, black sidekick Leonard Pine drive another brutally funny R-rated crime caper in picturesque East Texas. Leonard's lover, Raul, has left him for a biker called Horse Dick, whose subsequent death by shotgun is attributed to Leonard. Another death and the news that Horse Dick had a hidden identity revs up Hap's investigation. The trail he and Leonard follow leads to one weird scheme to sell restaurant grease on the black market and another one involving videos of young gay men being realistically beaten up. The cast of likely criminals includes a chili magnate; a former professional wrestler who enjoys applying electricity to tender male body parts, including Hap's; a hairdresser with a suspicious French accent; and the unforgettable Jim Bob Luke, a rough-edged PI who makes Leonard look like a sissy. Brett is probably overwritten some, and her supposed demise isn't slightly believable, but the rest of the narrative, including a breathless finale, is droll, crude, touching and very nasty. Lansdale elicits at least one good chuckle per page, and there may be no living author who commands more vernacular terms for the myriad sexual acts available to consenting and non-consenting adults. In this author's hands, extravagant, lovable characters mix with outrageous, despicable actions to irresistible effect. Major ad/promo.

     Starred review from July 27, 2009
     After Leonard's boyfriend and the biker he has run off with are gruesomely murdered, Leonard turns to his (straight) buddy Hap for help clearing his name. So begins this fast and funny East Texas shoot-'em-up tall tale that brims with very adult (strong language, raunchy sex, sadomasochistic violence and pornography) and absurd (bizarre squirrel attack) themes. As Leonard and Hap soon realize that they are more prey than investigators, the plot grows increasingly complex and hilarious, heightened by Phil Gigante's pacing and performance that spans a masterful range from Hap's twangy narration to Leonard's basso and night nurse Brett's sassy purr. A Vintage paperback.
