Blackwater: The Complete Caskey Family Saga (Blackwater #1-6)
Author: Michael McDowell
Desc: Michael McDowell was proclaimed “the finest writer of paperback originals in America” by Stephen King and “one of the best writers of horror in this country” by Peter Straub. Now McDowell’s masterpiece—the serial novel Blackwater—returns to thrill and terrify a new generation of readers with all six volumes available for the first time as a single e-book. Featuring an insightful new introduction by John Langan Blackwater traces more than fifty years in the lives of the powerful Caskey family of Perdido Alabama under the influence of the mysterious and beautiful—but not quite human—Elinor Dammert. The Flood heralds the arrival of a visitor who will change the Caskey family—and the town—forever… When the town builds The Levee it proves a vain attempt to control a horrific power that can never be contained… The House hides terrible secrets that whisper in closed rooms and scrabble at locked doors… The War reveals family secrets more deadly and devastating than anything Perdido has ever dreamed in its deepest nightmares… The Fortune brings happiness and power—but even greater terror… And finally the mysterious saga of the Caskey family ends the only way it can—in terrible judgment and fury delivered under the cover of a relentless earth-shattering Rain. Will Errickson (Too Much Horror Fiction) writes “Michael McDowell has written a rich layered historical novel with many Southern Gothic touches filled out with memorable characters and satisfying moments of death and shock.”
