Chuck, you spoke this way about Knockemstiff and that wound up being one of my favorite books. I will definitely check these out.

Yes! Thank you for mentioning it. That is an excellent collection. Who can forget the government agent falling into the pit full of vipers.

The one where the guy was injured falling off of roof of a building he was breaking into?

Yes, and then he died hallucinating, talking to himself. Powerful stuff.

Knockemstiff has some brutal stuff. At one point during Dynamite Hole, Pollock described a corpse so vividly, I had to put the book down, take a deep breath, and psych myself up to keep reading lol

Yes, loved TDATL but never got around to watching the film. I tried to read The Heavenly Table but couldn't get into it.

Just my own jinky taste, but I set down Heavenly Circle when they ate the nest of live chicks.
