About the Author

Joe R. Lansdale is the author of over thirty novels and numerous short stories. His novella, Bubba Hotep, was made into an award-winning film of the same name, as was Incident On and Off a Mountain Road. Both were directed by Don Coscarelli. His works have received numerous recognitions, including the Edgar, seven Bram Stoker awards, the Grinizani Prize for Literature, American Mystery Award, the International Horror Award, British Fantasy Award, and many others.

Story Notes

As you probably know, Joe R. Lansdale is a noted spinner of yarns. In “Torn Away” he is specifically writing—as was Kelly Armstrong’s story—for a Twilight Zone tribute anthology. Teleplays for that profoundly influential series often wound up reminding us there were shadows that might devour us, or that no one can escape Fate, even with the help of an East Texas cop. There’s another interesting aspect to “Torn Away” that makes it, to me, more up-to-date than nostalgic: Mr. Bloodline is the ultimate “identity thief” who is, eventually, robbed of all identity.
