Horror's Greatest Hits
Tom Roberts asked this question about Where the Crawdads Sing:
Was anyone perplexed by the author’s placement of Asheville, far to the west of NC, within shopping distance of the coast? One family drives to Asheville to buy a bicycle and one man buys his colorful ties there. Yet, the drive to Asheville tales from 5 to 6 hours. This doesn’t detract from the story, but it is quite odd.

It's 5-6 hours now with our fuel-efficient cars and high speed interstates. Back then, it would have taken so long to drive from one end of the state to the other, stopping frequently. Additionally, that area of NC really did not have many plantations because of the mountainous landscape, so the idea of Pa's family having one there sounded odd to me. I grew up about 45 minutes from Asheville.(less)
