A selection of contemporary Southern Gothic titles exploring the decay, despair, and trauma of the reconstructed American South. Come for the palpably atmospheric settings and descriptions, stay for the literary commentary on the legacy of the South's oft-romanticized past.

As a note: I did not include the most well known writers in the genre, e.g. Truman Capote, Harper Lee, William Faulkner, etc. as the list is more focused on the resurgence of Southern Gothic in contemporary literature.

if you’re craving something that feels like the next martha’s vineyard (iykyk)! books that evoke the same feeling as the magnificent tv show ‘widows bay’

I’m insanely obsessed with Widow’s Bay and I want to read some books with similar vibes once the season is over, so I figured I’d make this list! The books listed are recommendations I’ve gathered from Instagram, Reddit, etc, but I’d love some more recommendations!

Book of various genres, but due to the topic I guess they'll be mostly horrors and thrillers, where the main characters go on an innocent writer's retreat and it doesn't end up as expected. DISCLAIMER: I haven't read all books on this list, but I'm really eager to do so. If you have any correction about a book which doesn't really contain a writer's retreat or suggestions of more books that do, please comment it. The list will be updated whenever I find something or something is suggested.
