About me:
It's 1911 and the secluded southwestern Alabama town of Old Texas has been besieged by a scabrous and malevolent character called E. O. Smonk. Syphilitic, consumptive, gouty and goitered, Smonk is also an expert with explosives and knives. He abhors horses, goats and the Irish. Every Saturday night for a year he's been riding his mule into Old Texas, destroying property, killing livestock, seducing women, cheating and beating men—all from behind the twin barrels of his Winchester 45-70 caliber over and under rifle. At last the desperate citizens of the town, themselves harboring a terrible secret, put Smonk on trial, with disastrous and shocking results. In turns hilarious, violent, bawdy and terrifying, Smonk creates its own category: It's a southern, not a western, peopled with corrupt judges and assassins, a cuckolded blacksmith, Christian deputies, widows, War veterans, whores, witches, madmen and zombies. By the time the smoke has cleared, the mystery of Smonk will be revealed, the survivors changed forever.

Experience a novel like none you've ever read.

SMONK - On Sale August 22nd.

[Smonk] mixes William Faulkner, Cormac McCarthy, and Deadwoods David Milch, Franklin pulls off a unique Western saga.
Entertainment Weekly

A David Lynch and Quentin Tarantino codirection of Deadwood a world where not one person knows an iota of goodness.
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review

Franklin writes like an archangel on a crank binge. Ive waited three years for his follow-up to Hell at the Breech so Im pretty geeked up for Smonk.
Dennis Lehane, New York Times Bestselling author of Mystic River

Tom Franklin has created a character the likes of which the Old West has never seen. E.O. Smonk is a rougher, tougher version of Jesse James. An edgy, quirky, bawdy look at the days of cowboys and shootouts, Smonk is the real deal.
David Milch, Creator of Deadwood

Franklins sheer verbal skill makes Smonks violent, comic and ribald story - it makes HBOs Deadwood seem a bit tame - a pleasure to read.
Tampa Tribune

Franklins gloriously debauched second novel...[is] fast-paced and unrelentingly violent...readers looking for a strange and savage tale cant go wrong.
Publishers Weekly

Maintaining the dark tone of his excellent first novel, Hell at the Breech (2003), Franklin goes for the gothic in a weirdly fascinating and minimally punctuated tale of evil personified...Horror and history rendered with gusto and buckets of blood.
Kirkus Reviews

E.O.,

You dirty ol' bastard - much appreciation for the add. I enjoyed your tales of debauchery and was only slightly stunned to find out some more of those tales were left behind in the editing stage. Maybe a round II is in the works?

Thanks for the add! If you get a chance take a look at the trailer for my latest documentary: Ring Days, a documentary on boxing told through the voices of the legends of the ring. Its truly a story like no other. If you do, please leave a comment. Lets all make this a prosperous year in independent filmmaking and literature!

Best,
Lynn Lane
