Time for some more of these I think, especially liking the look of those suggested by Brubricker, ta, and found two of them at http://floatingworldweb.com/@EBOOKS/@KINDLE/Kindle Ebook A-Z/
Writing from the deep South - Faulkner, Steinbeck, McCarthy, O'Connor etc

This is brilliant. Looking like the best modern deep south writing I've read.
He doesn't seem to have written anything else yet

Steinbeck possibly passed through the deep South in Travels with Charlie, a book of travel writing written late in his career. That said I read it as a teenager and only think it was the South because it includes an account of a lynching, but I guess that also happened in the Mid West at the time.
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, a 'non-fiction' novel full of gothic atmosphere, is well worth reading.
While Walter Mosley's character Easy Rawlins is based in LA, he spends quite a bit of time in the deep South - or a mystical-psychedelic version of it at least.

I have that on the "to read" pile
I read Devil in a Blue Dress about 20 years ago, nowt else.
Another vote for William Gay, 'Twilight' is great.
Maybe less well known than other recommendations on this thread, but try: 'Nothing Save the Bones inside Her', Clayton Lindemuth. 'Peckerwood', Jedidiah Ayres. 'Last Call for the Living', Peter Farris and 'Donnybrook', Frank Bill.
All first class Southern noir.

In Travels with Charley Steinbeck went to New Orleans to witness the events around the de-segregation of a school, then went up through the South to return to New York. Having re-read it recently I'm fairly sure that there's no account of a lynching. Either way Steinbeck's a California writer and doesn't belong on this thread.
