At CrimeReads, Kate Racculia tagged ten gothic fiction titles that meant something to her, including:
A Good Man is Hard to Find, Flannery O’ConnorRead about the other entries on the list.
This collection is dark af all the way through, but the eponymous story, with its roadside family murder, is a master class in voice, character, suspense, what you can get away with—and desperately morbid comic timing. The Addams Family first crystallized my appreciation for black humor, but O’Connor taught me how to level up.
A Good Man Is Hard to Find is among Melissa Albert's sixteen most indispensable books of the 1950s and Tina Jordan's top ten books.
