Day does it again. He brings together a literary sensibility to the weird, bizarre, and horrific setting that is western Oregon.
There are some large content warnings, such as extreme violence, rape, and suicide, but it is done with as much finesse as Day seems to allow.
It feels like a blend of McCarthy, True Detective, and O'Connor rolled into one. This may be Day's debut novel, but he has been around for a bit and he continues to be one to watch.
