Publisher's Summary
This Edgar Award winner is "equal parts morality tale and page-turning thriller" (Denver Post)—classic American storytelling in its truest, darkest, and most affecting form, with echoes of William Faulkner and Harper Lee.
It's 1933 in East Texas and the Depression lingers in the air like a slow-moving storm. 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. 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. 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.
Contains mature themes.

Loved it!
I’m so thankful The Bottoms was finally added to Audible! I really enjoyed the story. Yes there are some hard issues brought up but those of us who lived such things know that those things do happen so it helps focus the stories time era by the realism. It’s also good to see how much we as a society have grown and learned through such horrible historical times.

CHILD RAPE
The narrator was great, and I enjoyed most of the book. I draw a hard line at child rape, however. Really wish authors didn't feel the need to constantly go there. This is one more author going on my list to avoid in the future.

Among the Very Best by Lansdale
THE BOTTOMS is one of the very best books by one of the very best authors of our generation, Joe Lansdale. Joe Lansdale is a legendary story teller and THE BOTTOMS is a great example of Lansdale at his best. Brad Sanders once again does a brilliant narration of a Lansdale classic such as he did with PARADISE SKY.
