"On an island with a prison for the most evil and powerful criminals in the world, a new prisoner is strapped to the electric chair for execution. After multiple surges of electricity and nearly knocking out power to the entire island, the prisoner is finally dead. The staff buries him in the prison graveyard with a simple marker bearing three numbers: 489. After the body is buried, a violent storm rocks the islands and a staff member goes missing. The crew rushes into the storm searching for their lost comrade. They find that the burial site of the prisoner 489 has been unearthed, and the body that was inside has gone missing. With a horrific finding and strange noises around them, a powerful threat is closing in. It's a threat that they thought was impossible, and it will force them into a battle for their lives." -- back cover.… (plus d'informations)

Joe R. Lansdale rarely disappoints, and this novella is no exception. A great, gritty little tale about a secret prison, an island graveyard, and an executed prisoner that turns out to be far more trouble than expected. Lansdale has a knack for blending crime noir and fantasy horror with masterful attention to realism, with characters that ring true and stick with you. Highly recommended. ( )

This is a quick fun read that takes unexpected turns. Pure Lansdale ( )

Another fine tale from Mr. Landale! It's basically a short story, maybe a novella, so my advice is not to pay to much for it! Still, it is indeed worth reading!

You got here two islands - one with a prison, and one with the cemetery for the prisoners who are put to death. That's how it has worked for 488 prisoners. But #489? Ummm, not so much...

Good read, fairly suspenseful, and the remote helplessness of the situation really rang through for me. I'd definitely read it again! ( )

Prisoner 489 by Joe R. Lansdale (with illustrations by Santiago Caruso) – Three prisoners live and work on a very small island near a larger prison island for the most ruthless criminals. The men on the smaller island handle burials and tend the cemetery for executed prisoners, which is a fairly easy and routine life for them. However, the execution of a prisoner who endured several maximum charges in the electric chair before he succumbed, brought them a nightmare. The burial went fine, but later that night something killed one of the cemetery men and the other two were faced with a terrifying and brutal struggle for their lives. This thrilling horror novella and its illustrations are terrific. ( )

Bernard thought his small island was beautiful, though it served an ugly purpose. A necessary service perhaps, but ugly just the same.
