Michael McDowell is the master of Southern Gothic! Check out THE ELEMENTALS, COLD MOON OVER BABYLON and the Blackwater series. Oh, and THE AMULET. Flannery O’Connor is always good. Also BELOVED by Toni Morrison, SWAMPLANDIA! by Karen Russell or COMPULSION by Martina Boone. Also IN A SHALLOW GRAVE by James Purdy.

Look up Ron Rash- Try Serena and The Cove. He is a Southern/grit lit writer. Other people to consider: Daneil Woddrell, Ricky Bragg, and the one and only Cormac McCarthy
