	Southern Gothic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Southern Gothic is a subgenre of the Gothic writing style, unique to American literature.
		One of the most notable features of the Southern Gothic is "The Grotesque" — this includes situations, places, or stock characters that often possess some cringe-inducing qualities, typically racial bigotry and egotistical self-righteousness — but enough good traits that readers finds themselves interested nevertheless.
		While often disturbing, Southern Gothic authors commonly use deeply flawed, grotesque characters for greater narrative range and more opportunities to highlight unpleasant aspects of Southern culture, without being too literal or appearing to be overly moralistic.
