Hollow Out the Dark

“James Wade is a poet of the dark. With gorgeous lyricism, he writes of men and women caught in the bleakest of circumstances…It’s been forever since I read a novel so stunning in its language and so moving in its effect. Read this book and prepare to be amazed.”

William Kent Krueger, New York Times bestselling author of Ordinary Grace and This Tender Land

“James Wade’s newest novel, Hollow Out the Dark, is a masterpiece of atmospheric crime fiction; a worthy successor to the likes of William Gay and Cormac McCarthy. Set in East Texas, it is an epic, and age-old, story of greed and generational betrayal—where vengeance is swift and forgiveness a long time coming.”

Kathleen Kent, New York Times bestselling author of Black Wolf
