Having read one of Donald Ray Pollock's other efforts, "Knockemstiff," I knew what to expect with this book and could not get my hands on a copy fast enough. Yes, some of the characters and events are very disturbing. Mr. Pollock draws you right into the characters though, something a lot of other authors just cannot seem to get right. The characters also manage to cross paths in unexpected ways. I believe Mr. Pollock is from Ohio but this book seems to have a very Southern Goth vibe. Picture a Coen Brothers movie with an Iron & Wine soundtrack. A very good read.
