Baxton County is based, loosely, off my experience from growing up in South Carolina’s Lowcountry.
I love the commentary on this piece! You really nailed the Southern Gothic vibe, and your personal experience with the area was clear.
I'm all for commentary posts!
The Baxton County setting fascinated me too. I grew up and still live quite a ways south of you, but somehow with very little sense of place, so now I get to try to absorb it as an adult. I felt Ben's struggles acutely. 😅
Its those trees! Glad you added the photo to your interesting essay
