Vernon God Little

Vernon God Little

Author(s): D B C Pierre

Location(s): Texas, Martirio

Genre(s): Fiction

Era(s): Modern

In the small town of Martirio, Texas, fifteen-year-old Vernon Little finds himself in deep trouble after his best friend Jesus kills sixteen of his classmates before committing suicide.

Vernon becomes the target of townspeople in search of vengeance and justice and the media’s thirst for sensation.

The novel’s depiction of innocence and simple humanity (all seasoned with a dash of dysfunctional profanity) in an evil world is never less than astonishing. The only novel to be set in the barbecue sauce capital of Central Texas, Vernon God Little suggests that desperate times throw up the most unlikely of heroes.
