About this listen
A Netflix feature film starring Tom Holland and Bill Skarsgård.
Willard is a tormented veteran of the carnage in the South Pacific who can't save his beautiful wife, Charlotte, from a slow death by cancer no matter how much sacrificial blood he pours on his 'prayer log'.
Carl and Sandy Henderson, a husband-and-wife team of serial killers, trawl America's highways searching for suitable models to photograph and exterminate.
The spider-handling preacher Roy and his crippled virtuoso-guitar-playing sidekick are running from the law. And caught in the middle of all this is Arvin, Willard and Charlotte's orphaned son, who grows up to be a good but also violent man in his own right.
A dark and riveting vision of America from the award-winning author of Knockemstiff.

Critic reviews
"Donald Ray Pollock redefines the term 'American Gothic' in his debut novel, taking Flannery O'Connor and William Faulkner and turning them up to 11.... The Devil All the Time is a very dark slice of Americana." (The Herald)
"An extraordinarily brutal yet tender insight into the lives of his characters. Superb." (The Times)
"Like being dragged backwards through a briar patch by William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor while Nick Cave howls hosannahs at a blood-black moon... Spider-gobbling revivalists, kick-back sheriffs, sideshow freaks, perfidious preachers - all are present and most incorrect....You can taste the metal in the water and the tang of decay in the fetid air." (Time Out)

Fantastic narrator
Fantastic narrator who breathes life in every character and makes them feel alive. Immersive book and deeply sad story.

A grim, intertwining, uncomfortable classic
There's dark, and there's this. The book seemingly meanders through the grim lives of a cast of characters in the southern States, but in an atmospheric and fascinating fashion. Richly detailed and performed, 10/10

All roads lead to a sad depressing ending.
Seen through the lives of various people from the rural farmlands of Ohio, the devil is partly the quagmire of their circumstances and partly just the depravity of the human soul. The narrator does a great job with the rural mid western accent, giving each character a personality, pulling the listener into each of the stories. Made me want to read the book once again. Definitely not for the soft of hearts that believe in good things happening to good people!!!

excellence all the way
1st review. Just finished this one 3 past midnight. Plan to listen to Naked Lunch by this voice actor next. He is also superb (like the author) and made me look for other ones by him. Book is not a happy one but damn it is good. Just visited different time and different country. What a trip!

My best listen so far of 2021
This book isn’t a walk in the park and it’s not full of puppies and kittens either! It’s down right nasty. With a hotch potch of characters which aren’t that likeable to begin with including serial killers and child molesters it’s amazing that there’s anything which redeems this book but believe me there is!
A story which flows and kept me glued to my buds narrated masterfully ...oh how I wish I was starting this book for the first time... no spoilers from me.
Just spend a credit and discover it for yourself.

Bleak & Wonderful
If you love McCarthy or Annie Proulx you'll likely really enjoy this. It's a dark and bleak look at a tough world full of hard road worn characters, but wonderfully written and presented. I finished it in two sitting. Definitely recommend.

Brutal tale of backwater America.
Gripping for the most part - very hard to get through in others! it tells of multiple people who murder, rape, cheat... it's an interesting look at 1950s USA and at god fearing poor communities.
