I live in the Deep South. Do you remember Hurricane Katrina five years ago?
Well, so do I !! We experienced her devastation first-hand.
Our summers are for the most part hot and humid, and hurricane season is not yet over, but we are starting to see a slight change in temperature. Fall is very pleasant and quite lovely in this area.
I've often thought that the physical weather elements, strained conditions and drama of a hurricane and its aftermath would make an interesting backdrop to a Southern American gothic romance. Does anyone know if there is such a story?
For the most part, I favor British gothics. I have read a few gothic stories that have attempted to depict the 19th century American South, but nothing very memorable. Any recommendations?
