Why read it?

1 author picked Prodigal Blues as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This coming-of-age revenge novel includes brilliant twists, excellent characters, and a villain that is pure evil. It’s bad enough when adults have to fight off sadistic killers, but it’s downright harrowing when children have to do it. Written with all the noir stylings of a Jim Thompson novel but with the darkness of a Clive Barker film, this is a difficult story to experience, but a very rewarding one.
