Pimpage: An Occasional Feature in Which I call Attention to Books of Interest

I've read this one.  It's a potent concoction that turns on itself and pulls a big surprise.  It's all about strangeness and identity, and it's different from anything else you'll read this year.

Amazon.com: Corrosion eBook: Jon Bassoff: Kindle Store: A mysterious Iraq war veteran with a horribly scarred face…A disturbed young man in a strange mountain town…A masked preacher with a terrible secret… 

Amidst a firestorm of violence, betrayal and horror, their three worlds will eventually collide in an old mining shack buried deep in the mountains. CORROSION, the shattering debut novel by Jon Bassoff, is equal parts Jim Thompson, Flannery O'Connor and William Faulkner, and an unforgettable journey into the underbelly of crime and passion. Drawn from the darkest corners of the human experience, it is sure to haunt readers for years to come.
