Carrie Preston recommended A Good Man is Hard to Find and Other Stories in Books (curated)

 
A Good Man is Hard to Find and Other Stories
A Good Man is Hard to Find and Other Stories
Flannery O'Connor | 1977 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"The Grandmama of southern gothic literature, O'Connor unabashedly tackles faith and faithlessness head on. Grotesque, funny and oftentimes creepy, these stories draw a picture of a society on the brink of moral bankruptcy. I find them more relevant today than ever....even on a desert island."

Growing Darkness
Gwen- is a really good period folk horror drama that has elements of gothic, supernatural and psycholoigcal horror. Eleanor Worthington Fox and Maxine Peake are really good in this film.

The plot: Desperately trying to hold everything together, young Gwen struggles with her mother's mysterious illness, her father's absence and a ruthless mining company that's encroaching on their land. As a growing darkness begins to take grip, the local community grows suspicious and slowly turns on the beleaguered family.

Its a slow pace film but it does get intresting, intense, supernatural, gothic and psychological overtime. Its a good horror film.

Peculiar indeed
A decent film with a good cast, good Sfx and amazing locations. A strange story but if you like something a bit darker and peculiar than normal, you'll like this.

Lost potential .
The potential was great, the execution not so. It would have been improved with a batman gothic style abs maybe some of the turmoil of falling in love, having kids and watching then grow old and die when your immortal. Otherwise it's just a real miss

Odd gothic thriller
The last part was the best part of this entire novel. Incredibly slow to start and for a very long time the religious subplot seemed pointless. There's also a lot of holes in the story like what happened to the baby's mother? Feel like it's been overhyped.

Depp at his peak powers in this horror fable, the surroundings and gothic visuals get a special mention as they are very much Tim Burton's trademark.
Its an exposition heavy murder mystery that has great character actors and is quite comical.
Very entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable adaptation of Irving's novel.
