I'm not entirely sure what 'Gaunteieer Fiction' specifically is. But there are many works that are set in New Orleans and have a touch of the extraordinary. For example, 'The Witching Hour' also by Anne Rice. It delves deep into the dark and mysterious side of New Orleans, with its old mansions and secretive families. It has elements of magic, mystery and family drama all intertwined, which could potentially be part of this 'Gaunteieer Fiction' concept if it involves the unknown and the fictional.

A lesser - known but great New Orleans novel is 'City of Refuge' by Tom Piazza. It focuses on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in the city.

There is also 'The House of the Seven Gables' which, while not solely set in New Orleans, has elements related to the early southern gothic genre that was prevalent in New Orleans. It has a sense of mystery and old - world charm that was characteristic of early New Orleans fiction.

Well, often they have a deep understanding of the local culture. They know about the Creole and Cajun traditions that are part of New Orleans. For example, they might be familiar with the unique cuisine, like gumbo and jambalaya, and incorporate it into their stories in some way.

I would suggest 'The Awakening' by Kate Chopin. It's set in New Orleans and delves into themes of female liberation and self - discovery.
