Books like The Death of Sweet Mister

What a book, what a book.... So grim, so bleak, so dark and so well written. In line with Cormac McCarthy, this writer Daniel Woodrell is. I read Winter's Bone some years ago and loved it too. Again a bleak situation of a young lady. This book is about Shug, an overweight young boy, 13 years old, with violent father and a drunk mum. The relationship with the mum is, to say the least, a bit weird. Kept me reading nonstop within my available time, highly intriguing from beginning to the very last page. Stunningly poetic, this violent read. I'll be back for more as usual, but if you can take dark and violent yet beautiful (I know, weird combination), read this book! I may go to five stars, need to think. I need to read more of this writer soon. Grand... and shocking. The bottle where I hid my lifelong screams busted wide. The screams flew loose where nobody could hear. The road I walked along was sunburt dirt and dust lifted with each step. I walked alone and felt my screams break free. I screamed over things that happened I thought I'd forgot. I screamed past fence rows and cows along the sunburt road.... I screamed until my throat was whipped raw and the sun settled and set....
