Riveting, terrifying, and just absolutely great ... Michael McDowell must now be regarded as the finest writer of paperback originals in America. * Stephen King * One of the best writers of horror in this or any other country. * Peter Straub * One of the genre’s most underrated writers. * Poppy Z. Brite * [McDowell's] wonderful six volume 'Blackwater' saga chronicles a fifty year period in the lives of the Caskey family, whose women bear a strange affinity for running water, and whose vengeance knows no bounds…constructed for maximum page-turning efficiency. * Christopher Fowler * Leaves you questioning exactly who, or what, could be living amongst us * Heat, Book of the Week *
