Praise for Oblivion Angels and Sheldon Lee Compton
“Oblivion Angels is a multi-generational micro-saga of family dynamics, alcoholism, and all the impossible dichotomies of eastern Kentucky life. Compton’s characters are so flawed and familiar that you can’t help but love them. This novel replicates perfectly how it feels to grieve, to thirst, and to parent a child through the tangled time warp of addiction. A deeply thoughtful story written with tender respect for its subjects and setting.”
–Leah Hampton, author of F*ckface and Other Stories
“Sheldon Lee Compton's beautifully written Oblivion Angels is a remarkable achievement, one of the most honest and heartbreaking novels I have ever read.”
–Donald Ray Pollock, author of The Devil All the Time and The Heavenly Table
“Tracking its compelling cast of characters across several Kentucky counties and four decades, Oblivion Angels is a hard-driving, huge-hearted dynamo of a book. In razor-sharp prose, Compton captures the complex nature of family and the resilient power of human connection. Certain writers make you want to read, and others make you want to write. Sheldon Lee Compton does both.”
–Ryan Ridge, author of Hunters & Gamblers and New Bad News
“Oblivion Angels is a stark but intimate depiction of how family dynamics are intertwined with addiction. Excessive alcohol, meth, and pain pills are easily acquired in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, and they make their way through every generation of the Reed Family. Sheldon Lee Compton brings this family to life in a fast-paced story that illuminates a bleak world of violence and heartache.”
–Denton Loving, author of Tamp
“Compton has proven once again why he is the writer’s writer of Appalachian noir.”
–Wes Browne, author of They All Fall the Same
