More About This Book

Overview

Cross-pollinating famous 19th-century fictional characters and historical figures from disparate sources, this wild, steampunk fantasy presents two consecutive tales of madcap adventure. Hilarious and unpredictable, the first section follows Wild Bill Hickock, Annie Oakley, George Custer, Sitting Bull, and Buffalo Bill Cody’s head—which is affixed to the top of a mechanical body—as they take the Wild West Show to Japan by zeppelin. Further exploits involve Frankenstein as an aphrodisiac for a local shogun, encounters with Captain "Bemo” and his submersible, and a trip to the "island of Dr. Momo.” The second phase of this nonstop romp—partly inscribed by a courageous young seal on his trusty notepad—accompanies Mark Twain and Jules Verne against the backdrop of a Martian invasion. Escaping the carnage on a speedboat converted into a touring balloon, the boisterous group encounters more perilous experiences in the form of an island of pirates, a steam-powered robot, a Kong-sized ape, and multiple tears in the space-time continuum. Raucous and inventive, this dime-store pulp parody is rife with absurdist comedy while maintaining a literary scope.

Editorial Reviews

Booklist
Only one of the wildest alternate-worlds, rip-in-space-time, sf-pastiche romps this side of 50s B movies.
Dallas News
He may be violent, gruesome and shocking, but Lansdale is also one of the greatest yarn spinners of his generation: fearless, earthy, original, manic and dreadfully funny. Laugh-out-loud funny, acquainted with the night and often acutely profound.
More Reviews (5) Fewer Reviews
Houston Chronicle
Lansdale is a storyteller in the Texas tradition of outrageousness . . . but amped up to about 100,000 watts.
Los Angeles Times
One of the more versatile writers in America.
New York Times Book Review
A folklorist's eye for telling detail and a front-porch raconteur's sense of pace.
People Magazine
Like 10-alarm chili, Lansdale is pretty strong stuff-He has become a cult figure.
Washington Post Book Review
A terrifically gifted storyteller.

    Classic Lansdale but a word of caution

    Only Joe R. Lansdale could dream up a seal as the hero of his books. This is Lansdale at his wild , imaginative, grotesque and vulgar best. One word of caution: this is NOT a new Ned adventure as I discovered to my disappointment but "Zeppelins West" and "Flaming London" in a single book. For those who haven't read the first two, this book is a great deal. Those of us who have read the first books will just have to wait for another.
