The Drive In: Omnibus by Joe R.Lansdale

By the same gent who wrote the great Bubbahotep comes a horror novel that I read straight through in about an eight hour stretch. I could not put it down and barely cared whether I starved or got hit by a smiling red comet with gnashing teeth until I was finished. The book is in two parts, Drive In 1 and Drive In 2 and I'm glad I had it all once... A weekly ritual of the Friday night horrorfest at the local drive in becomes a deadly trap when some Cthulhu-esque Gods from beyond make the world beyond the massive 4,000 car capacity drive in disappear, trapping the drive in goers to star in the God's own version of a deadly B-movie film. A massive three screen projecter repeats the same movies over and over though the outside world is gone. Things get really bad when the junk food runs out...things get worse when a certain Popcorn God shows up on the scene. This book is mad, funny, eerie and disgusting in the best way I could ever imagine. I dare you to take in the show. Above is a collection of covers from the book and the comic book adaptation.
