In this taut, chilling audiobook, Lester Ballard - a violent, dispossessed man falsely accused of rape - haunts the hill country of East Tennessee when he is released from jail. While telling his story, Cormac McCarthy depicts the most sordid aspects of life with dignity, humor, and characteristic lyrical brilliance.

Story line is disturbing, but the prose dense & excellent. Narration was perfect. I have listened to several of Cormac McCarthy's books and enjoyed them. I had missed this & happened on it through seeing it on sale.

Disturbing, but engrossing

Cormac is a master, both of writing and of depicting the grit of life in all its horrible beauty and beautiful horror. Narrator's delivery was superb.

Stark, and beautifully written, as always.

Wonderful, short, accessible performance of a nightmare horror masterpiece. Southern gothic at its very finest.
