Description
In the sweltering heat of East Texas in 1933, young Harry's world is irrevocably shattered when he stumbles upon a gruesome discovery in the woods—the body of a young Black woman. This horrifying find plunges him and his sister, the fiercely curious Tom, into a dark mystery that grips their small, isolated community. As they navigate the treacherous social landscape and confront the deep-seated prejudices of their time, Harry and Tom must uncover the truth behind the murder before the secrets of 'The Bottoms' consume them all. Joe R. Lansdale masterfully crafts a suspenseful coming-of-age story steeped in atmosphere, exploring themes of innocence, injustice, and the enduring power of truth.
