Distinct and complex, Southern fiction is a conversation about place—rural to urban, pine forests to sand dunes, woodland cabins to high-rise condos, office buildings to mills to farms—and how it shapes us. It explores what it means to live in the New South while keeping a tether to the old. The essence of the Sour Mash Series is to get at what Flannery O’Connor once wrote: “The writer operates at a peculiar crossroads where time and place and eternity somehow meet. His problem is to find that location.”
We believe Southern fiction writers have found that location and its people, and Regal House Publishing wants to honor that by publishing the most compelling Southern fiction being written today under our Sour Mash series.
