By Joe Lansdale

In the sweltering heat of East Texas, along the banks of the Sabine River, lies a place called The Bottoms. It's a place where the past and the present collide, where secrets are buried deep, and where the darkness lurks just beneath the surface.

Joe Lansdale's novel, The Bottoms, is a haunting tale of a place and its people. It's a story of racism, violence, poverty, and guilt. But it's also a story of redemption and hope.

The novel follows the lives of several characters who are all connected to The Bottoms in some way. There's Sugar Baby, a young black woman who is trying to escape her past. There's Hap Collins, a white man who is haunted by his role in a lynching. And there's Leonard Pine, a Native American who is searching for his missing sister.

As these characters' lives intertwine, they must confront the darkness that surrounds them. They must face their own demons and find a way to heal the wounds of the past.

The Bottoms is a powerful and moving novel that will stay with you long after you finish reading it. It's a story that will challenge your assumptions and make you question the nature of good and evil.
