You might actually enjoy something that blends fiction with raw social reality.
I recently came across The Butcher of Hollow Street — it’s not about America’s crisis specifically, but it captures that same street-level despair, survival, and moral decay.
It’s written in a way that feels almost documentary — haunting but deeply human.
If you like stories that don’t just tell you what happened but make you feel it, that one stays with you long after finishing it.
