The overall setting is somewhere in North Carolina. This is likely because in the beginning Brother talks about saying crazy things and that if heard, they (he and Doodle) would be sent to 'Dix Hill'. Dix Hill is a name for the Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh, North Carolina. Dix Hill is a psychiatric hospital.

Within North Carolina most of the action takes place in Old Woman Swamp.

Lastly, some action takes place at the family home.

The time the action in the story takes place is between 1911 and 1918, although the story itself is a flashback many years after the events took place. The narrator is recounting the details of what happened.
