review 1: It's amazing to think of all the different categories of fiction that Lansdale writes and it's even more amazing to realize that he could be considered a master of all of then. His Hap and Leonard books are quite different from his weird western stories (or just plain weird stories and I'm looking at you "Bubba Ho-Tep") which in turn is quite different from his thoughtful or coming-of-age stories. And then there is his crime noir stories into which "Bullets and Fire" falls. Maybe more appropriately this story might be contained in a sub-category for dark noir stories. The story is about how much one person will do for revenge and for family. Is compromising oneself in order to achieve closure right? How much is too much when getting revenge? They are questions that Lansdal... moree addresses head-on at 80 mph with no helmet. You have no choice but to watch.
review 2: Revenge is best served...hard and fast! And that's exactly how Lansdale dishes it up. A short story about a guy looking to do whatever it takes to join a gang. We quickly learn that his motivation is to get inside the gang to enact revenge on the very thugs that are responsible for his brother's murder and led to their grief-stricken father to commit suicide. While the story may be predictable, it's a fast-paced and enjoyable adrenaline ride with Lansdale's writing style being it's strength. less
