Deadly Hunger and Other Tales
This collection of stories, hand selected by Joe Hensley, draws on the author's diverse experience as a WWII medic, lawyer, judge, and legislator to deliver frightening, sad, funny, sly, and -- above all -- perceptive tales of suspense. For both established fans and newcomers to Joe Hensley's work, these stories will reveal why colleague Ed Gorman wrote Hensley is that rarity today, a writer with a hankering for the small but important truths that define our lives, and a joyous regard for language. He's a hell of a storyteller, too.

Another Hensley book-Great!-and let's have MOREinLARGEPRINT
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
See the reviews of this author's short story collections _Final Doors_ and _Robak's Firm_ and you will know why a new collection of his works in so welcome in my house! But I was hoping for a BIGGER book--perhaps with his semi-short out-of-print novel _Black Roads_ in it. And how about getting _Deliver Us to Evil_ and _Legislative Body_ [the only novel I have known to fill a teacher's demand for students to read a novel about state government!] back in print also? ROBAK'S FIRE is his only LARGE PRINT book and it goes out like crazy at the library I work at. How about some more omnibuses (omnibi?) and LARGE PRINT for ALL his books? Nobody writes short stories as special, good, different as Hensley. Try this book. You will read more!
