“In They All Fall The Same, gristly gangster Burl Spoon takes center stage and by the end of the first chapter he’s got us flipping pages like it is our job. Jump on this literary getaway car and careen through the curves with the Kentucky bad man as the blood, dip spit, and dollar store hair dye splatter the walls of your mind. Wes Browne is the new master of the outlaw family album, serving up country gangster fare with four-dimensional sophistication. He’s the literary Lotto machine that pays off every time.”
