"Southern gothic literature" is a term used to encompass a particular strain of literature from the American South. It originated in the 19th century, evolving from American Gothic, which in turn, evolved from English Gothic literature. Its characteristics include irrational, horrific and transgressive thoughts, grotesque characters, dark humor. This genre is rooted in the South's tensions and aberrations related to slavery, racism and patriarchy.
Therefore, the characteristics that would apply are:
- set only in the South, (although there are some examples that are considered within this genre but the setting is not a recognizable southern one, such as some Poe's poems)
- romanticized southern life and culture
- disturbed and twisted characters
