DEEP SOUTH DELIGHT

SOUTH OF MIDNIGHT weaves a compassionate tale through American Southern folklore

- By Andrea Shearon

Not long into playing South of Midnight, I had to stop and take a moment. Not because I'd taken offence to its portrayals of the American South - that's something you learn to brace for growing up in Mississippi - but the opposite. The Southern Gothic action-adventure had me feeling woefully sentimental over its attention to the smallest details, and its compassionate protagonist, Hazel Flood, is the perfect embodiment of Deep South born and raised.
