Description
'Brutally creative. . . . Pollock knows how to dunk readers into a scene and when to pull them out gasping.'--
The New York Times Book Review                             Â
                    “Fulfills the promise in [Knockemstiff]. . . . Invites
comparisons to Flannery Oâ€Connor and Raymond Carver.― –USA Today           Â
       'Finely woven. . . . [A] throat-stomping Appalachian crime story.' –GQ       Â
           “For fans of No Country for Old Men . . . sure to give you goose bumps.―
—Details                   'Should cement Pollock's reputation as a significant
voice in American fiction.' —Los Angeles Times                   'Will have
you on the edge of your seat.' —Christian Science Monitor                  Â
“A systematic cataloguing of the horror and hypocrisy that festers in the dark shadow of the American
dream.― —The Portland Mercury                   “You may be repelled,
you may be shocked, you will almost certainly be horrified, but you will read every last word.― —The
Washington Post                   “Disarmingly smooth prose startled by
knife-twists of black humor. . . . Expertly employs the conventions of Southern Gothic horror.―— The
Wall Street Journal                   'Reads as if the love child of O'Connor and

'Features a bleak and often nightmarish vision of the decades following World War II, a world where
redemption, on the rare occasions when it does come to town, rides shotgun with soul-scarring
consequences.'--The Onion, A.V. Club                   'Mr. Pollock's new
novel is, if anything, even darker than the Knockemstiff, and its violence and religious preoccupations
venture into Flannery O'Connor territory.'--The New York Times                 Â
 “Donald Ray Pollockâ€s engaging and proudly violent first novel…suggests a new category of
fiction—grindhouse literary. Subtle characterization: check. Well-crafted sentences: check. Enthusiastic
amounts of murder and mayhem: check, check.―—The Daily Beast'Beneath the gothic horror is an Old
Testament sense of a moral order in the universe, even if the restoration of that order itself requires
violence.'--The Columbus Dispatch                   'A smorgasbord of
grotesque characters trapped in a pressure-cooker plot. . . . Brutal fun.'--Esquire           Â
       'For a first novel so soaked in stale sweat and bright fresh blood, Pollock's sweat is wellearned,
and his blood is wise.'--Philadelphia Citypaper'A gallery of reprobates and religious fanatics... are
multidimensional, flawed human beings.'--Dayton Daily News                  Â
