The Bottoms

by Joe R. Lansdale

Set in Depression-era East Texas, a young boy witnesses a brutal murder that awakens something ancient and evil. Lansdale blends Southern Gothic atmosphere with visceral horror and keen social observation. This is a coming-of-age tale steeped in darkness, racism, and the supernatural forces lurking in the woods.
