I’m a proud southerner but am woefully unread in southern literature. I’ve only read To Kill a Mockingbird, Huck Finn, and Tom Sawyer.

I want to read a quintessential southern gothic work, what do y’all suggest? I purchased Child of God by Cormac McCarthy today, will start it soon, but I want to go ahead and order my next book.

The Lords of Discipline by Pat Conway. Disturbing book and really good.

If you enjoy Child Of God read Outer Dark and Suttree. Beloved by Toni Morrison is also essential
