He has also written for comics as well as Batman: The Animated Series. "Lansdale has written novels and stories in many genres, including Western, horror, science fiction, mystery, and suspense. Signed by the author, on the title page, in black ink. The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. This book is in Fine condition and has a Fine dust jacket. First British Edition and first Hardcover edition. It was worth every single penny.Hardcover. Together, these two make an unbeatable team! If you're looking for something to fill out your October reading, I highly recommend the audio of The Drive-In! *Source: I downloaded this from Audible with my hard earned cash. Matt Godfrey is one of the very first narrators I got to know when I started on my audio adventures and he remains one of my favorites. Lansdale is a go to author for me, and I'm thankful that I have a lot more of his work to catch up with. How long will the food last? What will people do when no more popcorn is left? You'll have to read this to find out. Then imagine that everything goes black, (except for the movies), and no one can leave.
Imagine if you will, a huge drive-in with 6 different screens and nearly 4,000 cars. What happens to people in dire circumstances is brought out into the light and examined from all different angles. Sure, there's a bit of commentary in there, if you want to give the story some depth, but there's plenty of horrific gore, insane circumstances and a big bunch of Lansdale's brand of humor to round it all out. Matt Godfrey performing this old favorite of mine was the perfect solution! Written back in the late 80's, The Drive-In is just plain horror fun.

Horns honk, BBQ grills sizzle, people yell and act the fool, ready for the marathon of one low-budget horror film after another. It’s a lit city that fills to the brim on Friday nights crowds gather for the Dusk-to-Dawn Horror Shows. A drive-in theater so large it houses screens multiple stories high that fill the sky and can hold 4,000 cars and all the people who can squeeze in them. Drive-in movie culture is mostly dead with one significant exception: The Orbit Drive-In. Book one of the Drive-In series by Joe R.
