He strayed away from my favorite parts of McCarthy’s writing, except the intensity

Maybe my favorite McCarthy novel yet—dark, unnerving, and tense but fascinating as well. The prose is incredible, this type of novel fits McCarthy’s style so well. Really surprised me how much I liked this despite being disturbed by it; definitely worth the read.

Holy hillbilly necrophiles Batman, this is dark!
I liked the book, disturbing as it was, and Lester Ballard is a character who will stick with me for a while.
