appalachian gothic this southern gothic that what about new zealand gothic . one-lane bridges and abandoned sheep sheds . the inherent emptiness of it all, 78% of the land uninhabited, the rolling valleys and drizzly gorges left to the patupaiārehe that dance in the fog and play their pūtōrino to lure children away . cows lowing in the paddocks, empty hometowns. why would the people stay? there's no more gold in ōtākou.

don't stop in the small towns. the locals don't want you and the chips taste like river water . curling smoke from a chimney; isn't that house empty? peeling paint and mouldy floorboards, copper doorhandles long since departed from their rimu doors - you've seen that in a movie, you're sure of it. strange noises from the bush - tūī are great mimics.

dirt roads, boarded up shops and burnt down houses. locals, bound to the land, whisper of how they 'can't wait to leave this shithole. move up to the city. start again.'

an anglican church stands in the middle of town , starkly white and imposing . do you really think god is listening? down at the bottom of the world?

Strange and silent angels came to meet you in the field — to circle darkly overhead, to show you where to kneel.
