It is indeed! The film is adapted by screenwriters Antonio and Paulo Campos from Donald Ray Pollock's 2011 novel of the same name.
If you fancy giving the novel a read before watching the film, it's available to buy from a number of online retailers, including Amazon.
The book, like the film, follows various characters in post-World War II Southern Ohio - with those figures including a disturbed war veteran, a husband and wife serial killer duo, and a false preacher.
After a prologue that introduces protagonist Arwin (played by Tom Holland in the film), the remained of the book is split into seven sections, each exploring a new chapter in Arvin's life, and the increasingly dark developments as he interacts with the various characters.
The novel was very well received by book critics, and picked up a range of accolades including the Grand Prix de Littérature Policière and the Thomas and Lillie D. Chaffin Award for Appalachian Writing.
In a New York Times review the book was called, "as sickly beautiful as it is hard-boiled" while another positive critique in The Los Angeles Times said that "The Devil All the Time should cement his [Pollock's] reputation as a significant voice in American fiction."
