The John Thompson Reader #2: Ten Full Novels By

“With colorful characters and multi-faceted, interlocking storylines, John B. Thompson creates a whirlwind novel ripe with violence and racial unrest. Fans of Charles Williams, Harry Whittington, and Erskine Caldwell should find plenty to like.” Paperback Warrior

Here are 10 scorching novels of lust, adventure, crime, tragedy and romance by John B. Thompson, an under-appreciated author of sharply observant, brilliantly-written stories of the deep south in the 1950s & ’60s. Unfortunately, his books were packaged and marketed as “sleaze” for their uncompromising explicitness. So his bold work fell into obscurity. Now they are back in print for the first time in over 60 years.
