"Rednecks, pick-up truck sex, trailer-park tramps, and Jerry Springer. These elements, if you ask me, have all the makings of MY kind of story. And that's what we get with this bizarre, brutal, taboo-crossing novella.

We get a sharply hewn tale of human tragedy and human misery, religious madness, and characters cut into the page so deftly, you can smell them…. All that and there are even some funny parts.
