I've heard this called rural noir and I think that fits. It's incredibly well crafted, and the kind of horror that's that drudging, sick to your stomach kind of dread. Can't say I enjoyed myself, but if you're looking for something that feels like a mix of No Country for Old Men and Season 1 of True Detective, this is a great pick.

augustinedreams's review against another edition

This book isn't dark, tense, or mysterious; it's slow and boring. And leaves me with a feeling of disgust; why is every woman in this book called slurs & participates in prostitution? There is no reason for it. This book has one to many problematic trigger warning to be redeemable.

A dark, post WW2 horror/thriller that gives you insight into the minds of seemingly normal people who, in secret, do depraved and horrific things. All the trigger warnings.
