The Road was also fantastic.

I tried reading another about a drunk guy who lived on a boat but it was too accurate a description of homeless people and I couldn't handle it

there are american ... books?

:eyepop:

Yes and also American whiskey, it's called bourbon and they pair well together although I'd recommend some sort of faith based intervention be setup IN ADVANCE because a month of your life will fly by and all your dreams will be about people cutting each others scalps off or being drunk, on a boat

It's pretty clear through subtext that the family cooks and eats the boy though

I mean obviously they first eat dead cancer father, hiding it from the boy as he sips a rich meaty broth they prepare for him to fatten him up,

He certainly has the talent to turn prose into borderline poetry, the fact that he's written "a western shoot em up" and "zombie apocalypse" using such talent is kind of hysterical and great fun to be honest
