Another muggy Missouri summer seems like the perfect time to try a couple stories that fall into the Southern Gothic category:
"A Good Man is Hard to Find," by Flannery O’Connor (1953)
"Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?," by Joyce Carol Oates (1966)
Totals 13413 words, approximately 23 pages
Bonus: Joyce Carol Oates dedicated her story to Bob Dylan, having been inspired by his song "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue." You can listen to the song, or read the lyrics.
