What We Reckon

Description

Review "Hardboiled honey packed with razor blades and dynamite, strange and leanly written, and tossed into a tornado; WHAT WE RECKON is the insane love child of James Cain and Jim Thompson, a modern piece of folk lore covered in gasoline and set on fire. This baby rocks like a motel bed during a cheap honeymoon. You need it."―Joe R. Lansdale, author of HAP & LEONARD and HONKY TONK SAMURAI“Pruitt delivers an excellent addition to the gritty Southern noir genre. Readers of Hunter S. Thompson and David Joy will enjoy the psychedelic twists and turns as well as the rapid-fire dialog.” ―Library Journal(Starred Review)"Assured prose carries the reader along to the shattering and enigmatic ending.” ―Publishers Weekly"I'd tell you to remember the name Eryk Pruitt, but after you read WHAT WE RECKON, it'll be impossible to forget. This is Southern noir prepared just the way you like it: Boiled hard, gritty as hell, and aimed straight at your heart." ―Rob Hart, author of THE WOMAN FROM PRAGUE and NEW YORKED Read more About the Author Eryk Pruitt is a screenwriter, author and filmmaker.
