Death in a Texas Desert Reviews

Leave it to Carlton Stowers ... to shatter ... wistful reveries and replace them with a grittier, gorier version of the Lone Star State. This ...riveting recreation of true terrors proves that the uneasy solitude of the Texan desert ... serves as the perfect backdrop for crimes more horrifying than 10 gallon hats and Marlboro belt buckles -- Amanda Holzer * Flaunt Magazine *
Strung together like black pearls on some hellish necklace, the cumulative effect is impressive and oddly compelling. -- Tim O'Reilly * Ft. Worth Morning Star-Telegram *
A captivating collection of 18 true crime stories by respected Texas author and journalist Carlton Stowers. -- Glenn Dromgoole * Houston Chronicle and Herald-Zeitung *
Very highly recommended. * Midwest Book Review *
Stowers uses a gripping style...has earned the awards he's collected. * Gainesville Daily Register *
