William Faulkner is the master of southern horror stories and Nobel prize winning author.  Eric Dove, in this his first novel, picks up where Faulkner left off.  Don't know what the future will bring, but this astounding first effort bodes well for the future.  A maniac redneck from the hills of Tennessee lives a life of murder, mayhem, deception and survival, all the while humming "have you been washed in the blood of the lamb?"  He encounters a family of god-fearing people and nearly massacres them all.  The suspense is unbearable, the literary device of shifting first person--from daughter, to father, to chocolate labrador--is intriguing.Don't miss out on reading this wonderful book.
