...rural South, where nearly every-one--at least in popular fiction--is either ruttin' randy or picturesquely deranged. Annie can't do a good deed without getting whacked around by Donnie, the inbred ingrate. When she complains to a cop about him, the cop offers this blithe appraisal: "He's high-strung."

For though she chats with her dead grandmother, sleeps with a baseball bat beside her bed and has visions of the dead in her bathtub, Annie is quite the most sensible person around. Ah, the rural South, where nearly every-one - at least in popular fiction - is either ruttin' randy or picturesquely deranged. Annie can't do a good deed without getting whacked around by Donnie, the inbred ingrate. When she complains to a cop about him, the cop offers this blithe appraisal: "He's high...
