Hill William / Holler Boys
7″ Bundle

Tyrant Books, Holler Presents and Fat Possum
teamed up to bring you this limited edition book and 7″ package. Scott
McClanahan’s writing has drawn comparisons to the absurdist humor of National
Book Award finalist George Saunders and the southern home-spun melancholy of
Larry Brown and Breece D’J Pancake. We present his latest book, Hill William,
based on Scott’s childhood in rural West Virginia, along with a 7″ from his
band, Holler Boys. Scott and Holler Presents co-founder Chris Oxley play folk
filtered through an Appalachian fever dream. Sometimes that sound is a gentle
prayer; sometimes a shrill, isolated scream. Additionally, Scott has narrated an
audiobook of Hill William, automatically downloaded upon purchase of book and 7″
package, or available separately. Books are signed and numbered by author. Cover
art for 7″ generously provided by photographer Stacy Kranitz. Limited edition of
300.
