Southern Gothic: New Tales of the South is an anthology like no other. Featuring over 15 stories and poems by new and veteran authors, the writing reflects a diverse range of Southern experience. From the post-Katrina New Orleans of Rose Yndigoyen’s ”Long Gone Girls” and the deep-rooted family of Hardy Jones’ ”Visitin’ Cormierville” to the racial tension of Eryk Pruitt’s ”Them Riders” and Shane K. Bernard’s ”The Phrenologist,” the anthology represents a new interpretation of the long-established Southern Gothic genre. Each story is paired with original art by Nathan Mark Phillips. Phillips’ images pull at the underside of the stories and bring a thoughtful level of interpretation to each work. Poking at the heart of Southern distinctiveness, these writers and artists make a bold statement about the south in the 21st century.
Southern Gothic was published in collaboration with New Lit Salon Press. The special print edition, published by bd and designed by luke kurtis, is out of print. However, NLSP has published a trade softcover as well as eBook editions.
