Thump Queen and Other Southern Anomalies is a collection of eccentric southern images exploring the world of Thump Queens, Velvet Elvises, Soul Palaces, and Bad Antiques. From the rolling hills of Virginia to the tropical Florida flats, from Texas to Tennessee, Thump Queen captures the vanishing authentic South.

“A superb photographer and writer, Meryl Truett exhibits a sophistication
and irony that will draw fans from both within and without the South.”

— Rosemary Daniell, Author of Fatal Flowers and Confessions of a {Female} Chauvinist

"Some of the pictures are powerful, others voyeuristic, still others humorous. But they are all purely Southern."

— Tim Rutherford, Savannah Morning News

"Thump Queen is a delightful story of the south, told without a single word spoken."

— Cassandra King, The Sunday Wife
