Is there a Southern Gothic-esque equivalent for the American Midwest and Desert Southwest aka the "heartland"? Not necessarily like Westerns, but like horror or crime or thriller or surrealism, something a bit more contemporary. Think of the kind of imagery conjured up by "Badlands" or "Darkness on the Edge of Town" or something off of the Nebraska album.

Cormac McCarthy is a good example of the kind of thing I'm talking about, but not necessarilly the end-all be-all.
