From the article 'Gut Check Fiction and the Heathens Who Are Writing It' by Patrick L. Ledford
"A heathen is a person who does not prescribe to conventional beliefs
(i.e. “the norm). Zeltserman, Franklin, and Pizzolatto are straight up
heathens, charging the norm like raging bulls. They have their own style
and their own way of doing things. These authors stand out because of
their poignant and charismatic writing. Their characters display the
complexities of man and that sometimes it can be too late to make the
right choice. They paint landscapes where harsh intent and bad
intentions roam like buffalo. Do not settle for what the mainstream
media is telling you to read. Instead, do a little research, push your
limits and take a gander at the guys that are reinventing the mettle of
fiction."
