Edge Of Dark Water by Joe R. Lansdale
During the Depression-era in rural East Texas, a young woman and her tight circle of friends launch a perilous river journey to honor a murdered lover by carrying his body to the Gulf for burial. Their trip down dark bayous and past shabby towns becomes a violent coming-of-age odyssey as they are chased by the killers and confronted with betrayals, raw grief, and hard-won courage. Woven with grit, black humor, and the mournful beauty of the Southern landscape, the story explores loyalty, loss, and the price of keeping promises.
