I can recommend "C Programming: A Modern Approach 2nd Ed."[1].

Even though it was published in 2008?

Absolutely!

There's not a whole lot that's changed in C11, (C is kind of "done" at this point) and there's not been a newer book that teaches the language so well.

Ben Klemens' 21st Century C is good.
