Southern Nights by Barry Gifford
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.9MB
Overview: A collection of three of Gifford’s wildest and weirdest Southern gothic novels
Barry Gifford’s three Southern Gothic novels, Night People, Arise and Walk, and Baby Cat-Face, may be among the weirdest and best of Gifford’s novels for their sheer velocity—the copious, raw violence; the invented religions and gods that make people do things; and how the horrors somehow cohabit—affably—with the genuine pathos and loveliness of the unforgettable characters that live in these books and the things they say so easily that we’ve never heard anyone say before. God in these Southern Nights is only another possibly deranged near relative, cast in the only nonspeaking part in this human drama. Everyone else talks and talks. And it’s the dialogue in these novels that make them some of Gifford’s best, reminders of the author’s seemingly unlimited range and versatility, a comic-tragic genius for our time.
As a character in Night People says, "Safety first ain’t never been my motto."

Night People
The author of Wild at Heart and The Wild Life of Sailor and Lula writes of what Tennessee Williams called “something wild in the country/that only the night people know.” He draws his characters from the shadows of the Deep South, where they confront the chaotic horror of the United States at the end of the twentieth century.
Arise and Walk
Set in New Orleans at the turn of the 21st century, this continuation of the highly acclaimed Night People provides a stark, eccentric, and wholly original plunge into the dark and grimy world of just revenge, as it vividly tracks the lives of individuals intent on making a profound difference in the world before they are willingly or forcibly removed from it.
Baby Cat Face
A wild, wacky, funny, well-written, and surreal novel about a woman struggling to make her way in a New Orleans so feverishly peculiar that Anne Rice would feel at ease there.
