It’s a murder mystery at its heart, but there’s so much more to it than that. The Bottoms was gritty, emotional, and totally fucking bleak. Together with his younger sister, Harry sets out to discover who the real killer is, and to do so they will search for a truth that resides far deeper than any river or skin color.Ĭorey: Well, this is long overdue, Holly!! The first Lansdale book we’ve reviewed together!!! Even though he’s someone neither of us has read a lot of (YET!!), the books we have read are ones we’d recommend (read: SCREAM ABOUT FROM THE ROOFTOPS) to anyone who would listen. When a second body turns up, this time of a white woman, there is little Harry can do from stopping his Klan neighbors from lynching an innocent black man. When a young Harry Collins and his little sister stumble across the body of a black woman who has been savagely mutilated and left to die in the bottoms of the Sabine River, their small town is instantly charged with tension. Synopsis: It’s 1933 in East Texas and the Depression lingers in the air like a slow moving storm.
