Harry Crews writes some absolutely wonderful books.
Eccentrics, some New South gothic strands twisted with Old
South rednecks and ... well, maybe "eccentrics" is
enough.
There's a hard-boiled sensibility in his writing.
Rarely moves into strictly a crime fiction arena, but his
settings usually move among the areas frequented by
fringe-type huckster and con artist characters -- one of
Willeford's cock fighters wouldn't be an intruder in some of
these books.
FEAST OF SNAKES, CAR, THE GYPSY'S CURSE -- all these
are excellent and highly recommended.
