"THE COAL TIPPLE STOOD like an enormous headstone, paying homage to lives lost and a jobsite long forgotten. A gibbous moon hung in a firmament of planets and stars beyond the stripped hillside. Silhouettes of trees on its summit stretched their crooked fingers to a heaven that wasn’t coming to save them."

Blacktop Wasteland is the buzzy book from SA Cosby. “Beauregard “Bug” Montage just wants to work on cars in his shop. At one time he was known as the best getaway driver on the East Coast. But he promised his wife that he was out of the life. But mounting overdue bills, braces, tuition - all make him try one last job. The unintended consequences put him and his family in danger and he must fix it.” Go read this book. The writing by Cosby is fantastic. You can feel the rumble of the engines - smell the exhaust - feel the anxiety and despair coming from Bug. And Bug is a guy that just wants to provide for his family. And not someone you want to mess with. An open ending but it works. Any man who has felt the consequences of his father’s sins will understand part of Bug. Great story from Cosby. #blacktopwasteland #sacosby #irodeinadusteronetime #appalachiannoir #southernnoir #bookstagram #bookshelves #bookswithcharacter #bookhoarder #bookworm #sodacityreads #bookreview #hardcover #bookcollector #bookhaul #bookspines #goodreads #homelibrary #fiction #crimefiction #thriller #bookcollection https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ6QgaHAtTe/?igshid=zeeg6851uyrd
