A blistering and fearless slice of gut-wrenching hill-billy noir from a superb new talent

Welcome to Heartland America circa right about now, when the union jobs and family farms that kept the white on the picket fences have given way to meth labs, backwoods gunrunners, and bare-knuckle brawling. Frank Bill's Southern Indiana is haunted by a deep, abiding sense of place, and his people are men and women pressed to the brink - and beyond. They are survivors, and in Frank Bill's hands, their stories bristle with noir energy.

Reviews for Crimes in Southern Indiana

Brutal and intoxicating. * Guardian * Take American gothic + Tarantino + 1 cup of human blood. Liquidise in blender. Result: The great stories of Frank Bill -- Alan Warner An astonishingly powerful debut book...It's a brutal rabbit punch of a book - a shotgun blast in the chest of literature and a crystal meth hit to the reader...Remarkable. -- Doug Johnstone * Big Issue * Amazing collection...It's all overshadowed by a Southern Indiana landscape that proves eerily ideal for guns, hunting, secret meth labs and the casual infliction of terrible pain. 270 pages of gripping and harrowing shitloads of it. * Dazed and Confused * There's a whiskey-gargling swagger to [Frank Bill's] Cormac McCarthy-style prose, and each noir tale is savagely addictive. * Shortlist *
