Born in eighteenth-century English and French literature, the gothic responds to extraordinary circumstances with shocking, unnerving, often grotesque elements. How does the genre translate to American literature, and more specifically to southern literature? TLC director Roger Smith and Savannah author Katherine Oxnard Ellis invoke Faulkner and O’Connor, Morrison and Rice, to exemplify the southern gothic.
