Roll into Thursday with this story from @jdclappwrites.bsky.social . So much to love about this one – cool first-person voice, dialogue, and the spare, everyday details (has a little bit of a Daniel Woodrell/Raymond Carver feel).

Big thanks to Frank for kind words. Looking forward to our interview later this year. JD
Been reading for decades. Publishing stories, poems, essays, columns, for years. It's fucking refreshing to read collections like this one from @jdclappwrites.bsky.social

Excellent work.

You can run w labels all you want, grit, etc. This book has heart, & that's what impressed me the most.

Three things:

1) had a chance to flip through these two books and they look great and I can’t wait for a little time to sit down with them.

2) @jdclappwrites.bsky.social and @danrussell.bsky.social are great dudes and you should support them.

3)… my yard looks great in these pictures!

A novella plus short stories? That means it's like two book in one. And it's by @jdclappwrites.bsky.social? That means it's dynamite stuff. Get POACHERS AND PILLS now if you ain't yet.

Dan’s novels remind me of Larry Brown— they are gritty but so fun of heart that they stick with you long after you put them down! Buy this one!
POOR BIRDS by @danrussell.bsky.social is here y'all. This is a sweeping southern tale of one family's legacy and the brother that threatens to crumble their fragile facade. Good shit.

POACHERS AND PILLS by @jdclappwrites.bsky.social is gripping grit and it's out today. One of the coolest reads of the year. The ebook is live and the paperback should be available sometime today (maybe the bots are trying to ban it for being too badass). a.co/d/1S7Prlw
