4.0 out of 5 stars Strange, strange dark and good, January 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Poor Fool (Voices of the South) (Paperback)
While this is probably not the best Caldwell book to read if you've never read Caldwell, it is gripping in a lurid, over the top, stink of death and madness kind of way. I loved it.
