Anyone read anything by Donald Ray Pollock?

I saw good reviews for him somewhere, andordered a couple of his books from A mazon.
I've just started "Knockemstiff" ....intertwined stories about a small town in Ohio.
Lake Woebegon it isn't.
Very dark with strange characters, but very compelling.

I've not heard of him. Off to investigate on Amazon :). You mention Lake Woebegon - Garrison Keillor - I read some of his stuff a while ago and really enjoyed them.

Oh this is very very dark.

I'm reading the devil all the time.love it. not for the faint heated though, very dark and gritty. have ordered knockemstiff already.
