A dark and riveting vision of America from the award-winning author of Knockemstiff. For fans of No Country for Old Men and Natural Born Killers.
Klappentext zu „The Devil All the Time “
Willard is a tormented veteran who can't save his beautiful wife, Charlotte, from a slow death by cancer. Carl and Sandy Henderson, a husband-and-wife team of serial killers, trawl America's highways searching for suitable models to photograph and exterminate. A spider-handling preacher 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 son, who grows up to be a good - but violent - man. Donald Ray Pollock braids his plot lines into a taut, gothic narrative that will leave readers astonished and deeply moved.
