"Like its young heroine, Lillian, Freeman's trim powerhouse is 'a pistol'.... Freeman's beautifully cadenced dialogue is rich with humor, philosophic depth and a near-mythic sensibility."
— Publisher's Weekly

"A small masterpiece of black comedy and suspense about a trio of backwoods heroes who embark upon a modern-day quest.... If all novels were this good, Americans would read more."
— Kirkus Reviews (starred)

"Go with Me is the most suspenseful, frightening, memorable and best-written novel about backwoods America since Deliverance. It’s the book Castle Freeman was born to write. The characters seem as real and human as my next door neighbors. I sat down and read Go with Me straight through. Then I went and got a beer, came back and read it again. Now that’s a novel." — Howard Frank Mosher

Go With Me takes place in a period of just 24 hours. In the book, a young woman who has been repeatedly victimized by the town bully decides to take him on with the help of two unlikely allies-- a young man with more brawn than brains, and a crafty old-timer. Part black comedy, part suspense, the novel follows these backwoods heroes in their quixotic quest to take down a nasty villain from the hill country of Vermont.
