Why read it?
1 author picked The Poison Flood as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’ve never come across a character who knows how to rock, as well as Hollis Bragg! He is so creative and self-destructive as he wails on his guitar it felt like there was nothing to do but let the fierceness of his emotions wash over me.

From Devin's list on books with super shady characters.
