Joe R Lansdale recommends

The Legend of Charlie Fish (2023)
Josh Rountree
"Odd, creepy, funny, The Black Lagoon meets the Six Gun universe. You need this."
thumb
Salvage This World (2023)
Michael Farris Smith
"Man, did I like this one. Southern, wet and gritty. Storm-filled and laced with fear and tension, as well as realistic and engaging characters, I found this world grimly enticing."
thumb
This Train (2022)
James Grady
"James Grady is a long-established master of the thriller, and he proves it here. Grab your hat, and don't let the strong wind of suspense blow it off. Highly recommended."
