Hi there John-
Yes, Burke does have a but of the "Faulknerian
mystic" about him. A hell of a writer, for my money. I've
read IN THE ELECTRIC MIST WITH CONFEDERATE DEAD, and thought
it was pretty good, although the (for me) obvious
hallucination about John Bell Hood coming back from the grave
to converse with Dave Robicheaux was a bit distracting. You
might try A STAINED WHITE RADIANCE (another Robicheaux
novel). I finished it not too long ago and loved it. I have a
large number of Burke's stuff in my To-Be-Read Hill (too
large for a pile, over even a hillock).
Most importantly, welcome to the list. We talk
about all this cool stuff here!
Lastly, you live in the most gorgeous city in the
Western hemisphere.

Introduction
Hello - new to the list and mostly
checking that I'm getting and sending mail OK. But to keep
this on-topic, I'm reading some James Lee Burke books I
picked up in trade and several of them feature the Billy Bob
Holland character, who's haunted in a comradely way by his
friend L.Q. Navarro. Can anyone recall any other books/series
in the genre that had supernatural elements?
Another Burke book, In The Electric
Mist with Confederate Dead, had the lead character visited by
a Civi War general and his troops, though whether this a
ghost or hallucination is left undetermined, but beyond that
I can't think of any.
