The Good, The Bad, and the Indifferent
- The Good, The Bad, and the Indifferent
This is a collection of early stories from Joe R. Lansdale's career, published in 1997, many of which were never published before and none of which have ever been collected before (or, apparently, will ever be again).
The title is a play on Sergio Leone's western The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It is the part of a trilogy-of-sorts of Lansdale anthologies, preceded by "A Fistfull (sic) of Stories" and followed by "For a Few Stories More".
