| | Southern Gothic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | One of the most notable features of the Southern Gothic is the grotesque, a stock character who possesses some cringe-inducing qualities, typically bigotry and self-righteousness, but enough good traits that the reader finds himself empathizing nevertheless. | | | Like its parent genre, it relies on supernatural, ironic, or unusual events to guide the plot. | | | Southern Gothic is a sub-genre of the Gothic writing style, unique to American literature. |

| | All are made real by the author's lazy Southern drawl. | | | She clearly takes great pleasure in reading her words out loud, and seizes the opportunity to bring her characters to life: the naïve enthusiasm of Hely; the solemn determination of Harriet; the shadowy listlessness of her mother Charlotte; the bitter pride of their loyal black housekeeper Ida Rhew; the sleazy ignorance of the Ratliff family. |

| | A Southern gothic whodunit - The Boston Globe |
| | Even in this opening scene, fans of Burke will recognize the potential for the brooding, description-drenched prose that distinguishes his work, a sort of contemporary take on Southern gothic put to whodunit use. | | | It's only in retrospect that Dave, narrating the colorful story, seems to realize that she was as dangerous as that steel-gray fin or the Portuguese man-of-war that drifted by on the incoming tide. | | | But Burke works in a present-day mystery as well -- the hunt for a serial rapist and killer that gets Dave to return to his job with the New Iberia sheriff's office. |

| | Lost In the Southern Gothic Fun House |
| | Harry Crane relates the story of how he and his sister Thomasina were sent out into the woods to put the family hound dog out of its misery—only to make a gruesome discovery when they find the mutilated body of a local black woman tied up near the river bottoms. | | | Though the identity of the killer is predictable, the dark secrets of the townspeople uncovered by Harry, including those of his own father and mother, are what The Bottoms is really about. | | | Perhaps it is the often perfectly breezeless summer air, as if time itself were stopped, or the blinding brightness of the sun reflected off of the whitewashed above-ground tombs, or the overgrowth of briars and weeds that shelter and hide countless gnats, fireflies, and spiders. |

| | I guess the biggest hurdle is that I don't really know of any spoken-word events that take place in the American South - that whole section of the country tends to be under-represented at the National Poetry Slam, and it's the NPS where I learn of open mics in the first place. | | | Or, if you'd just like Garth and me to visit, and are willing to put us up for free while we're there, drop me a line as well - we've got ten days to fudge around with, and a car, so we're pretty open at this point to scheduling changes. | | | Anyway, I guess my point is that if you're a reader of mine, and you live somewhere between Chicago and New Orleans (and, more specifically, in the southern half of that area), I'd appreciate it if you wanted to drop me a line and let me know of any particular performance opportunities in your city. |
