When the Magic Wagon comes to town, folks get a genuine medicine show that includes a wrestling ape, fancy shooting, and a peek at the petrified body of Wild Bill Hickok himself. They also get bottles of a whiskey-laced elixir to drown their aches and pains. Old Albert drives the wagon, a raw-boned youngster named Buster Fogg does the odd jobs, and "champion" trick shooter and fast talker Billy Bob Daniels owns the show. Billy Bob claims to be the illegitimate son of Wild Bill himself.

Brinkley Springs is a quiet little town. Some say the town is dying. They don't know how right they are. Five mysterious figures are about to pay a little visit to Brinkley Springs. They have existed for centuries, emerging from the shadows only to destroy, to kill. To feed. They bring with them terror and carnage, and leave death and blood in their wake.

One of the great pulp writers, Fredric Brown (1906-1972) combined a flair for the horrific, a quirky sense of humor, and a wild imagination, and published many classic novels in the mystery and science fiction genres. But he was also a master of the "short-short story", tales only a page or two in length, but hard-hitting and with a wicked twist at the end.

Don’t think about it...don’t talk about it...and if you feel a prickling on the back of your neck...don’t turn around! Matt Hardison doesn’t believe in the Shadowstealer, an evil spirit that could steal a person’s shadow and demand they sacrifice pieces of themselves. It was just a local boogeyman, a gruesome campfire yarn to frighten youngsters; not something that adults took seriously. The Shadowstealer is Matt’s new novel, a bestseller featuring the creepy legend that frightened him as a child.

The Norfolk coast made for a perfect holiday - as long as the sun still shone. But when the rain came, the creatures left the shadows. Spectres from the past tortured James Hildebrand's mind. His blackest nightmares were crowded with malevolent, coiling images of decay. Then, suddenly, he knew the threat was real. The dead alone could not quench their hunger.

Not What You Might Expect
- By MR J LAMBERT on 11-09-20
Summary
This collection of 26 stories contains some of Joe R Lansdale's favourite and most violent dark horror tales. 'God of the Razor' introduces the dark god behind serial killers. A martial arts fight to the death between a reluctant champion and a sadistic alpha male, is featured in 'Master of Misery'. Human sacrifice, to ensure prosperity or as a coming-of-age ritual, are themes of 'On a Dark October' and 'Duck Hunt'. In 'The Fat Man', young boys learn the hard way that some mysteries should not be investigated. Many of the tales are truly weird, such as 'Chompers', the story of the false teeth with an appetite. All stories are individually introduced by Lansdale, who explains the humorous, weird, and sometimes sad genesis for each.

NARRATION RUINED THE WHOLE BOOK
I love Lansdale novels, but this narrater was the most annoying I've ever listened to on audible. He appears to use an over exaggerated southern wine and twang to his voice for some reason which gives each story a goofy feel. I've always thought it odd when reading other reviewers complain of how a narrater can ruin a book even if the story is good. Now I understand why. Would be 5 stars but narration was too annoying...oh,...I'm also from the south and I'm used to southern accents but this was feigned and annoying like chalk hissing on a chalkboard.

Should have read this instead of listened
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Yes, I'd recommend the book - the stories were fun. But no, I would not recommend the audio book.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Not really an ending - they were a collection of short stories.
How could the performance have been better?
I don't think the reader interpreted the stories well. The inflections were odd, the pacing and pauses were off, and he was really bad at doing different character voices. I did not enjoy this reader at all.
Did Bumper Crop inspire you to do anything?
No.
Any additional comments?
This would have been better if the author's prefaces were not read. My ipod wouldn't let me skip ahead and it was EXTREMELY annoying to have to sit through the author's thoughts on each of his stories.

Horribly Humorous and Bizarre
Yeah I agree the narration is kind of difficult to get into at first but give it a chance. The narration works with Lansdale's stories.
The stories themselves are imaginatively humorous and horrifically horrible. I especially like the ghost fish and the choppers stories.
