Laney Bozeman works at a lonely roadside junk shop in a remote corner of New Mexico. He reads old paperbacks and daydreams on his two- week shifts, and by night he stargazes and dabbles in the kitchen of the tiny attendant's bungalow. He sleeps in his truck during his time off and explores, though lately he's been carrying on with the beautiful clerk Maria from Big Donut in Roswell, so a different life might be on the horizon. The old carnie Ralston Orley is supposed to be gone when he arrives for their bimonthly sunset shift change, but this time he's still there, half naked and blackout drunk, and he's dragged a gigantic belt buckle into the bungalow's living room.

Industry Reviews

"I haven't had this much fun reading anything since I read True Grit years back. I Shop At Laney's is an utterly original book with a wild strange plot made plausible by voice and setting details and exceptional writing. Overnight I find that I'm a Jeff Johnson fan." -World Fantasy Award Winner James P. Blaylock


"Jeff Johnson is a master of characterization and suspense. I Shop At Laney's will keep you riveted and enchanted from the first page to the last." -Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of The Oppenheimer Alternative


"...lowdown drunken partners on the realistic poverty road, what seems like fantasy for most of the story, becomes advanced science fiction at the end, and makes it into unified fiction that works wonderfully." -Norman Spinrad, Prix Apollo winner and multiple Hugo and Nebula Award nominee
