Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p><em>Catfish Dinner & Other Malicious Morsels </em>is a collection of short stories utilizing the combined elements of Fantasy, Southern, and Gothic Literature. The collection demonstrates the feasibility of combining the three different literary genres, each with its own strong identity and literary history, in a work that appeals to readers reaching the age of young adulthood. Named for the titular story, the collection features seven short stories of varying lengths depicting the cultural influence of food, community morals, storytelling, and nature in East Texas communities. Each story is told through third-person point of view of a different character. The stories told throughout the collection are meant to create a sense of unease within the reader throughout the progression of the collection before culminating in nontraditional endings that will hopefully leave the reader confused, unsettled, fascinated, or horrified. </p>
