Poachers
His first published work, this collection of short stories won a major prize in the field of crime fiction (the Edgar Award for Best Mystery Short Story).
Hell at the Breech and Smonk
His first two novels are historical novels, both examples of regional fiction, as they are set in Alabama. Hell at the Breech[1], his debut, was based on actual historical events. Smonk is a wildly over-the-top novel about a brutal rapist and his path of destruction, intended in part as a reaction against or parody of the excessively masculine Southern fiction of established writers like Cormac McCarthy (famous for novels like Blood Meridian – published 1985).
Smonk
has recently been translated into German for the first time and has been receiving a lot of attention for its grotesque, energetic humour and brutality[2].
The Tilted World
Co-written with his wife, this is another historical, regional novel, set in Mississippi in 1927.
