Low Down Death Right Easy
"Sometimes mysterious, sometimes vicious, and always engaging,LOW DOWN DEATH RIGHT EASY  is a unique take on the crime novel that will satisfy readers who like their fiction as murky as a river after heavy rains. Here's a good way to describe J. David Osborne: Daniel Woodrell, James Ellroy, and Cormac McCarthy all wrapped into one, stripped to the bones, and given a new voice."--OUT OF THE GUTTER"A gritty tapestry of subversive drama the likes of which I'd compare to Harmony Korine'sGummopacked in with the terse lines of Bukowski."--MICHAEL J. SEIDLINGER, author ofMy Pet Serial KillerandThe Sky Conducting"If you're looking for something more than just blood and guns and meth, you need to get this book immediately. Osborne has an innate talent more dangerous than a trunk full of C4. To give some sort of visual, take one of James Sallis' Spartan scenes, lock in it a single-wide with a bag of crystal and a light bulb then rip out the air conditioner and check back in a week. LOW DOWN DEATH RIGHT EASY creates sensations that haunt you long after you've started your next book."--SPINETINGLER"LOW DOWN DEATH RIGHT EASY is working class fiction at its best. It reeks of desperation, busted dreams, and hard times. But mostly, it reeks of literary talent. Whatever J. David Osborne writes, I'm reading. And you'd better too."--BENJAMIN WHITMER,author ofPikeand co-author ofSatan is Real: The Ballad of the Louvin Brothers"J. David Osborne holds a literary style distinctive enough to raise his work above the waterline of contemporary fiction. LOW DOWN DEATH RIGHT EASY challenges and hurts and mystifies its readers. The weave of characters is stunning. Intricate storylines cross and worm through each other to form a dense and powerful mystery."--MANARCHY MAGAZINE"InLOW DOWN DEATH RIGHT EASY, Osborne reaches out into the scabrous hinterlands of landlocked nowhere to unveil an intertwined collection of reluctant dreamers and three time losers, all trying to get by while navigating rusted out acres of convenience store ice heads, run down bars, and greasy doublewides. Strange, brutal, yet disturbingly familiar, this is the sort of story you can taste on the back of your tongue, and makes you appreciate every last clean and hopeful thing you have in your life."--DARK INTENT"LOW DOWN DEATH RIGHT EASY brilliantly finds a balance between a classic noir novel, something slightly surreal, and something approaching a classic American realist work. There are scenes of intense violence and suspense butted up against curious moments of outlandish insanity, but overall this is a story that ultimately feels (for lack of a better word) 'believable.' J. David Osborne has got some fucking chops."--THE NERD OF NOIR"A highly talented new author. Osborne is one to watch."--BLOODY-DISGUSTING.COM
