Description
Now a major Netflix movie starring Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland, Bill Skarsgård and Riley Keough.
Willard is a tormented veteran of the carnage in the South Pacific who can't save his beautiful wife, Charlotte, from a slow death by cancer no matter how much sacrificial blood he pours on his 'prayer log'.
Carl and Sandy Henderson, a husband-and-wife team of serial killers, trawl America's highways searching for suitable models to photograph and exterminate.
The spider-handling preacher Roy and his crippled virtuoso-guitar-playing sidekick are running from the law.
And caught in the middle of all this is Arvin, Willard and Charlotte's orphaned son, who grows up to be a good but also violent man in his own right.
Advance Praise
"Hits you like a telegram from Hell slid under your door at three o'clock in the morning" William Gay
"[Pollock] has an extraordinarily brutal yet tender insight into the lives of his characters. Superb." The Yimes
"It is [a] profound and moving kind of book; it is a bruise-black slice of Midwest gothic, and confirms Pollock as one of the most adventurous and significant writers of our time" Scotland on Sunday

Nope, this won’t be to everyone’s tastes but for those who don’t mind nasty, very very nasty characters and quite visceral scenes, oh and politically incorrect attitudes to everyone and everything, this will most certainly be a thrilling listening experience.
I simply love ‘DRP’ and constantly on the look out for another one of his depraved tales. I read ‘TDATT’ four years back, and was knocked out by its authenticity, the grim grit and violence, tinged with at times a pure naivety, of the characters as their personalities came flooding off the pages. This audio version was a perfect accompaniment and reminder of how I felt from my initial reading. The narrator totally nailed it for me and held me captive for two days as I listened to him retelling their stories. At no time did I feel the pace slacken or lose interest. I absolutely loved the book and this audio version.
Now, I just need to see what Netflix does with it ! I’ve booked my seat already and the only way anyone is getting the tv remote will be from my cold dead hand !
Highly recommended for fans of ‘thug lit’, ‘grit lit’ and the like.
A whopping big thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me to listen to this phenomenal recording.
