A Fine Dark Line by Joe R. Lansdale

5.0

Lansdale did it again. Such an interesting, dark, funny, full book about a young boy growing up and solving a mystery he stumbles upon. Lansdale really manages to hit the darker sides of society and point out what's wrong and what's horrible, but still doesn't make his books an emotional cry fest. This world is dark, especially contrasted against the narrator's still quite innocent voice. It's especially funny to see how he learns more and more about the world and he isn't quite sure he likes it. Lansdale is a really funny writer who knows how to hit the spot.
I'd love to write like Lansdale one day.
