Give Us a Kiss, by Daniel Woodrell (1996). What he called Country Noir and I call Hillbilly Noir. He died recentry. Was my favorite living author.

I am not long finished Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons. King called it one of the 4 most important horror stories of the 20th century. I think he was lying.
@TheDeathOCuHullainn Also 2005 is oddly specific.
