Recs if you like Loving, Ohio...

"What a midwesterner he was, a thoroughly unhip guy with his heart in the usual place, on the sleeve, in plain sight." — Charles Baxter, The Feast of Love

Fiction that embodies the experience of being Midwestern and full of big feelings: depression, yearning, being lost in a cornfield

Books that have a character named Eliot/Eliott/Elliot/Elliott in them (side characters count too)

We don't discriminate! Whether its a novella, graphic novel, collection of essays or anthology, if its fun horror, then its on here!

A mix of anthologies, standalones, and series. Many are indie!

Is that a cult?
