美國紐約時報暢銷小說《神棄之地》（The Devil All the Time）作者唐納．雷．波拉克（Donald Ray Pollock）最新力作，陰鬱、堅韌又令人振奮。

1917年，分隔喬治亞州與阿拉巴馬州的邊境之地，一名辛苦無依靠的農民珀爾（Pearl Jewett）帶著三名年幼之子辛苦守護與經營一塊貧瘠土地。凱恩，大兒子、英俊、聰慧；科夫：矮小、笨重、行動有些遲緩；奇穆尼，小兒子、瘦弱、脾氣暴躁。數百英里以外的俄亥俄州北部，一名名叫費德勒（Ellsworth Fiddler）的農民則與兒子艾迪、妻子歐拉一起生活。一天，當費德勒被人騙取全部財產後，他的生活開始轉換成一個令人出乎意料、難忘又暴力的軌跡，並將珀爾一家人捲入其中，威脅他們的性命與未來。珀爾的三個兒子因而被迫展開一場犯罪與暴力的恐怖之征。

黑暗暴力，是唐納．雷．波拉克最擅長用來刻畫比喻人性的恐怖層面。他的這部新小說揉合了美國文學重要作家弗蘭納里．奧康納（Flannery O’Connor）、美國重要當代文學作家馬克．麥卡錫（Cormac McCarthy）的哥德式風格，以及山姆．佩金法（Sam Peckinpah）、昆汀．塔倫提諾（Quentin Tarantino）和科恩兄弟的暴力美學。當唐納．雷．波拉克以一種極其黑暗而可怕的方式，舖陳珀爾一家人與費德勒一家三口的生活強碰在一起、生死與共時，再次證明他在同類型小說中將殘暴寫至極點的作家。
