For a while now I’ve been looking for a good book set in the southern coastal plain and recently after a road trip down to Florida through SC and Georgia I got that itch again. I’d like to avoid books that are focused on political issues because I don’t particularly enjoy reading political fiction books and that seems to be what the majority of books set here are about.
The past couple years I’ve been making my way through some of Cormac McCarthys books and have really enjoyed them (although I don’t think I’m ready to read through Suttree)

Sounds like you are looking for the genre called either Southern Gothic or Grit Lit. I would suggest Ron Rash (try the Cove) or Daniel Woodrell.
