Here are a few you might like to add:<br /><br />Knockemstiff, by Donald Ray Pollock (short story collection, deliciously disgusting)<br /><br />Joe, and Fay, both by Larry Brown (Fay is probably a better book overall, but Joe sets it up and provides the backstory, so read that one first)<br /><br />Galveston, by Nic Pizzolatto<br /><br />The Errand Boy, by Don Bredes<br /><br />The Deputy, by Victor Gischler<br /><br />Yellow Medicine, by Anthony Neil Smith<br /><br />Those last two feel a little contrived to me, like the authors tried too hard to make their antiheroes stupid (Gischler) or mean (Smith), but both are still enjoyable. I've also heard people sing the praises of Lisa Reardon, but never read her myself.<br /><br />Anyway, as I said, I eat this stuff up, so keep it coming!Doghouse Reillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875762366778329764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-26946243649725365272013-02-18T17:27:30.009-05:002013-02-18T17:27:30.009-05:00Also Sallis' Turner novels, do they count?Also Sallis' Turner novels, do they count?Jay Stringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08764183157841848163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-60791521246503041012013-02-18T17:23:36.512-05:002013-02-18T17:23:36.512-05:00WINTERS BONE rocked my world.
