Fantastic series

I read the whole series in the 80s when it was published.. still have the books!!! This is my favorite of horror stories. I reread series every 3 to 4 years and enjoy them as much as the first read. I can highly appreciated and recommend Michael McDowell's talent and ability to spin and create a great story. I also recommend The Amulet and Cold Moon Over Babylon... you will be disappointed

Blackwater ,The Flood,Levee,House,Rain,War,Fortune

This has got to be the best series I have ever read! At first you really hate Eleanor Caskey and what she does to rule the rest of the Caskey's family. Eleanor gets married has a daughter but what are in store for the family is beyond what they could ever imagine.I would love to have this on audio or have a movie made of this! The book is very well written it brings you there and with the maps of where every body lives is an extra touch. At the end of the book what happens to you is awesome because you find you have falling in love with her and will miss her terribly. This is a horror story and has some parts in it that will set you up in the chair and have you looking around the room.

Wonderfully Creepy!

This is the first in a 6 book series. Michael McDowell can write a creepy book. The relaxed and languorous atmosphere of the South combined with a horrifying, yet mystical creature, who hides among them and settles in with them. Through the 6 book series you can really feel the passing of time, as some characters age and some of them die. The Caskey clan is truly dysfunctional and you are inexorably drawn into their lives. You'll have to scout the used book stores for this series, but it is well worth it. I re-read these books about once every 24 months. Don't confuse this Michael McDowell with others, he only wrote the Blackwater series, Katie, Gilded Needles, The Elementals, and The Amulet.

execellant!

My grandmother gave me the whole series of the "Blackwaters". They were bonechilling. I could not put them down. To imagine a monster living at the bottom of a river, eating people. Michael McDowell is rated in by book number one with Stephen King. Michael has clearly out done himself with the whole series.

Blackwater I: The Flood in Reading in Cars to Mama: My Book Lover Genesis Story
Reading in Cars to Mama: My Book Lover Genesis Story
Published by William Shelton • October 27, 2022

For my mother, any moment not spent reading was an irretrievable loss. This included the car, where as a child I had the pleasure of acting as a 1970s audiobook by reading aloud to her. Though her literature tastes were not those of a ten-year-old boy, sharing these moments and stories crafted me into the reader I am, and gave us a lifelong bond we keep 40 years later.

Blackwater I: The Flood in Horror Where You Least Expect It
Horror Where You Least Expect It
Published by William Shelton • October 18, 2022

Fear, where it is least expected, is all the more rich an experience. Such as when it is found among the pages of a story of romance, or a bucolic tale of life mundane. Here are my favorite tales with surprisingly dark moments.
