Tom Franklin's short story collection Poachers was published in 1999. It contains a series of gritty, atmospheric stories set in the American South, often exploring themes of crime, moral conflict, and the harsh realities of rural life. The title story, Poachers, is one of the standout pieces in the collection, with its focus on a violent confrontation that spirals out of control. In addition to Poachers, Franklin has written other notable works, including the novel Smonk (2006) and Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter (2010), both of which further explore themes of violence, human flaws, and the deep complexities of Southern life. His writing is often marked by sharp, vivid prose and a keen sense of place.
