Lansdale : Hap and Leonard before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Hap and Leonard: 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Hap Leonard: The Collection CompletedBy J. CulurisThank you.Even if I hadnrsquo;t enjoyed the series of the same name that ran on the Sundance Channel recently, Irsquo;d be grateful for its existence because it is almost certainly the reason this book came to be. Is somebody going to reprint an entire run of books to tie into a six-week series? Probably not. But it is feasible to collect the odd and ends created over the years, the short stories and novellas. Irsquo;m particularly happy because the two novellas, Hyenas and Dead Aim, are considered #rsquo;s nine and ten in the progression and were hard to find at a reasonable price. So, thank you.You get five shorts in this collection too. One is co-written with Andrew Vachss, an interesting piece called ldquo;Veilrsquo;s Visit,rdquo; and the only story here I had read before. It contains the serious matters that are hallmarks of Vachss but retain the humor characteristic of the series.

  • JIM MICKLE Executive Producer / Writer
    PRESS KIT CONTENTS About the Series 3 Characters and Cast 4 Production Biographies 16 Production Credits 25 PAGE 2 ABOUT THE SERIES In “Hap and Leonard: Mucho Mojo,” Hap and Leonard find themselves in mucho trouble as they unravel a murder mystery with more twists and turns than an East Texas highway. The story begins with a skeleton, Trudy’s missing ashes, a pissing match with a neighbourhood drug dealer and a piece of MeMaw’s fresh baked pie. When Leonard is arrested for a murder he didn’t commit, Hap and attorney Florida Grange must work to clear his name. The only things standing in their way are Hap’s unquenchable thirst for Florida, a serial killer, bad mojo and themselves. WHAT IS MOJO? An inexplicable force of nature that moves people in unexpected ways. PAGE 3 CHARACTERS AND CAST PAGE 4 HAP COLLINS Hap Collins is a man looking for truth, justice, the American way, and just a little love to go with it. He isn’t having any luck. Somehow middle age has snuck up on him and he doesn’t have much to show for it. Good looks and East Texas charm don’t pay the bills. A working class, liberal romantic, Hap has one foot in the past and the other trying to find traction in a world he doesn’t much understand. He’s old school but graduation was a long time ago. Hap may not be the slickest cowboy around, but it’s his sense of right and wrong and his black hat / white hat belief system that keeps him kicking for the underdog.
