Knockemstiff, by Donald Ray Pollock
Not a set of short stories to make you happy. Apocalyptically dark, gloomy stories about a rural Ohio town from the 60s to the present. These are well-crafted stories and Pollock has a compelling voice. While you probably won’t enjoy these stories, if you like literary fiction, you should check this out.
