In his latest literary thriller, David Armand weaves together the stories of an eccentric cast of dark, frighteningly realist characters, each under suspicion of murdering a young girl, Amber Varnado, whose body is found hidden in a deep gorge at the opening of the novel. Set in southeast Louisiana in the small town of Franklinton, The Gorge follows the colliding lives of Tuller, the murdered girl's boyfriend, whose suspicious past and his discovery of Amber's body make him the prime suspect; John Varnado, Amber's father, a Vietnam war veteran whose violent flashbacks cause brutal outbursts of rage and paranoia; Grady, a young man dwarfed by rickets who prowls the night to feed his strange desires; and Euwell, a man who lives in an old shack near the gorge and hunts for young girls to satisfy his lusts and quell his inner-demons. Armand's spellbinding story explores the universal themes of desperate love and the pitfalls of false assumptions woven into the tenuous threads of coincidence that connect people in a small town. Masterful, profound, and full of spirit, The Gorge is literary entertainment of the highest order

Review David Armand is an exceptionally talented young writer that I've had my eye on for a while. His new novel, The Gorge, is a suspenseful tale filled with intrigue and surprises, and he knows his characters inside out, just as he knows the sights, sounds, and smells of the landscape in which their drama is enacted. I really admired this book. --Steve Yarbrough, author of The Realm of Last Chances and Safe From the NeighborsThough original in plot and conception, The Gorge shows the clear influence of Larry Brown and Cormac McCarthy in Armand's creation of genuinely evolved Rough South characters. Grady Bickels emerges, for example, as an even more grotesque version of Lester Ballard from Child of God. Armand's direct and poetic use of language is quite impressive. --Jean W. Cash, author of Flannery O Connor A Life and Larry Brown: A Writer s LifeLarry Brown meets Tom Franklin in The Gorge, a haunting story that delivers readers a strong sting of southern grit lit. With just the right balance of dark, edgy, raw, and all things lyrical, David Armand dives deep into the sweat-soaked secrets and sins of rural Louisiana. Get ready to enter into the minds of characters you would never want to know in real life, but probably already do. --Julie Cantrell, New York Times bestselling author of The Feathered Bone

Great if you love Rough South, Grit Lit, Thrillers, or Literary Novels By Jennifer Geist A well-written entry into the relatively new genre of Rough South, The Gorge is a frighteningly beautiful portrait of a Southern Louisiana town full of interconnected individuals. The story follows multiple characters: Tuller, the prime suspect in his girlfriend's murder; Grady, a strange man plagued by rickets and desires; Euwell, a man whose past compels him to hurt as he was hurt.Not only a thriller, but also a literary novel, its prose will simultaneously compel you to read as quickly as possible to discover the conclusion, but also force you to linger on and appreciate well-crafted lines.Unlike some stories, which have good and evil clearly defined, The Gorge forces you to pity and empathize with even the most twisted of individuals.David Armand is surely an author to watch, if his past novels and this one are any indication.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Gorge, by David Armand By Marilyn Miller I just finished reading, The Gorge, by David Armand. It is wonderful. I closed the book and left the gorge, but I know that it will never leave me. It is a stunning tale, well told, with some twisted characters that I cared too much about, because David Armand made me feel the pain of every person in this gripping story. He jarred my ego awake to that universal truth; that there but for the Grace of God, go I. David nailed it when he wrote,"...people who have been hurt and who,in turn, hurt others. But isn't that all of us?".David Armand has two more books coming out soon. The next one will be out in April, 2016, and I understand that he has also just started writing a new novel. I am anxiously awaiting the release of the new books by this brilliant young writer.

By Southern Reader David Armand's third novel, The Gorge, draws the reader into a world of dark intrigues, a world populated by desperate and grotesque figures—juxtaposed to youth and beauty and eternal hope. The story hinges on the death of a young girl and a cast of suspects whose shady backgrounds weave a web of suspicion. Set in the flat Louisiana delta, the gorge itself is an anomaly in the local geography, a metaphor—the ideal locale for a good mystery. The Gorge may fall into the contemporary “grit lit” genre, but the voice and style bear the unique and indelible signature of its author. A great read!
