A haunted American South as told by a boy hero In lush and comedic language reminiscent of Faulkner and O’Connor.

"Smote is a book of the dark reality of our daily existence; it is a book of abiding grace."—Robert Olen Butler

I release you like the crank-addled truck driver
releases his cargo at the midnight dock
until the warehouse is one in a trail
of crumbs, little light left on behind him.
