I assume the feel you are looking for is something distinctly American, not from Southern California or NYC. either souther gothic or midwestern in terms of mood, probably working class characters, criminals, vagrants, addicts, broken people, with a prevailing down note, melancholy, or doomed quality? If so, here are some...

And the Ass Saw the Angel by Nick Cave
The Devil All the Time by Donald Ray Pollock
Cherry by Nico Walker
Townie by Andre Dubus III
The Knockout Artist by Harry Crews
"The Pugilist at Rest" by Thom Jones (Only a short story but very good)

These are really great suggestions. Seconded.
