Stories of the South contains stories from The Leaning Tower and Flowering Judas plus the short novel Old Mortality. All nine short stories and the novel take place in the American south during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The collection, in addition to being excellent specimens of writing, offers a social critique of southern society of the time and its negative effects. These negative effects include slavery as a destructive influence on the African American race and general racial inequality, social norms hampering the discussion of "unpleasant" topics like death or sex, and the vast inequality of gender roles.
