| 520 | 0 | |a Spanning a period from the mid-sixties to the late nineties, the linked stories that comprise Knockemstiff feature a cast of recurring characters who are woebegone, baffled and depraved -- but irresistibly, undeniably real.

A psychotic rural recluse comes upon two siblings committing incest and feels compelled to take action.--From amazon.com. | |
