Critics Review

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 *
Complex, literary, nuanced * SFF review *
