Trapped in the Saturday Matinee
Trapped in the Saturday Matinee is a collection of short stories written by American author Joe R. Lansdale. In the introduction Mr. Lansdale states "This collection gathers together some early work, which I like, and it also contains stories, for one reason or another, missed their audience. There are also newer material that I treasure, some that has never been gathered under one roof, and there are others written specifically for this volume."

"I love this collection. It’s a mixture of nostalgia and maturity, the reworking of others’ work and the discovery of my own voice.
I like to write introductions as a way of inviting you into my house of stories. But now I’ll leave you to it. Just wander from room to room, and take your time. While you’re here, make yourself at home. But please . . . try not to break the furniture on your way out."
