    About this audiobook

    With this critically acclaimed debut collection, Frank Bill announces himself as an author of fiercely defined vision. In these vivid tales, Bill's southern Indiana proves a literary destination of immense nuance, even as his mostly working-class characters cry out in voices that cannot be denied. "Blasts off like a frigging rocket ship and hits as hard as an ax handle to the side of the head after you've eaten a live rattlesnake for breakfast."-Donald Ray Pollock, best-selling author

      I read this book right after "The Devil All The Time" and the two books together make for an unusual weekend of reading. That being said this book is fantastic. The stories slowly fuse together but are also outstanding on their own. A great dark book.
    • 2/5
      Very repititious book. The story all sounded quite similar with the same issues. The characters were all struggling with some sort of issee, I just did not care about any of them. We read this book as a bookclub selection and should have good discussion potential for us, but only because we will be discussing where these areas of Indiana are that these stories are based on. I live in Indiana and this book makes us look like a bunch of hilljacks. Believe me, we are not all like this.
