What are some good examples of this aesthetic?

Do you have to be Southern to make Southern Gothic?

and donna tartt's the little friend is basically ass, but the one thing it does well is the southern gothic atmosphere.

Truman Capote's "Other Voices, Other Rooms," though the Southern Gothic atmosphere is about all there is to it.

Deliverance (the novel) is Southern Gothic, though more in the Alien Sex Fiend sense than the Black Tape For A Blue Girl sense.

I have had The Little Friend on my bookshelf for about three months now, still unread!

there is a creepy duplicity going on with this thread.

Next time I'm in Arkansas I think I'll devise a Southern Gothic Tour of Texarkana.

I thought it would be quite Southern Gothic to have these two threads going on at once.
