Staff Pick
The Blackwater series from Michael McDowell is stellar Southern Gothic. The Caskey family of Perdido, Alabama, is haunted, or are they just dysfunctional and acting weird? The family manse is filled with paranormal activity, or is the house just settling and making spooky sounds? Author McDowell knew how to write page-turning haunted Southern Gothic, and I heartily recommend every one of his books. Be prepared to love this series for the rest of your life, as you'll never quite get doomed Perdido, Alabama, out of your mind. Recommended By Tracey T., Powells.com
Synopses & Reviews
One of the greatest horror novels ever published, Michael McDowell's critically acclaimed, long out-of-print novel is now available in a six-volume illustrated box set with a new introduction by Poppy Z. Brite. McDowell was at the height of his powers when he wrote Blackwater, a six-part novel about the mysterious Elinor Dammert and her influence over the citizens of Perdido, Alabama, and her ghastly ability to use water to gain her hideous ends.
