I bought a copy of 11/22/63 by Stephen King the day before Jimmy Pudge's Corn Bred was released.  The minute I saw Pudge's book was available I dropped 11/22/63 and started right in on Corn Bred.  I devoured this book!  Pudge has a way of making you cringe, making you wince, making you reel with disgust, but at the same time manages to keep you glued to each and every page.  I literally couldn't put it down.  This book was a little different than his previous work.  Where before there was always a trace of humor mixed in with the horror, this time Pudge goes solely for horror.  He delves into areas that I as a writer would be hesitant to venture to.  The change from Joshua to Corn Bred is beautifully done.  Talk about using both ends of the spectrum!  Read this book and if you haven't read Pudge's previous work read that too.  The man's writing is original beyond anything I've ever seen.
