One of the best short stories I have ever read. I feel bad for the universe in which this story does not exist.
Hell at the Breach is the first novel from Ole Miss English professor Tom Franklin - it could be perceived as a Cormac McCarthy knock-off, but it is a well-written first novel, and the rural Alabama setting and its historical context give it some more intrigue. If you read it, please note the symbolic allusions to the title - how many characters end up in a compromised position similar to a bullet enclosed in the claustrophobic barrel ('breech') of a gun - physically and figuratively.
