To the Ozarks and the originator of country noir. Tom snitches:
I think Daniel Woodrell is woefully underread. He does backwoods noir that is literate, authentic, and dark as hell, but since he's pushed to the Oprah crowd I don't think enough crime readers have had the chance to check him out. His latest WINTER'S BONE is out now. Everyone should run out and snatch a copy up immediately. I'll sit by the mailbox and wait for all your thank you postcards to start showing up.
The Official online bio is, “Tom Piccirilli has sold over 150 stories in the mystery, horror, erotica, and science fiction fields. Tom's been a final nominee for the World Fantasy Award and he's also the winner of the first Bram Stoker Award given in the category of Outstanding Achievement in Poetry,” but that doesn’t get across any of the enthusiasm and humanity that is Tom. Do yourself a favour, check out his excellent website.
And, saying a book is the "latest" Tom Piccirilli will be out of date by the time you get the words typed, but I will say THE MIDNIGHT ROAD has been nominated for an International Thriller Writers Award and THE FEVER KILL is out now getting great reviews.
