Machos und Macheten

The book balances moments of comedy with intense suspense, which isn't always easy. I'm curious what influenced this tonal mix.

The protagonists often cross lines that traditionally define 'good' or 'bad,' making me wonder how much sympathy we’re meant to feel for them.

The gritty atmosphere adds so much to the story, and I wonder if Lansdale drew from real locations or crafted this world from imagination.
