Blackwater is the saga of a small town, Perdido, Alabama, and Elinor Dammert, the stranger who arrives there under mysterious circumstances on Easter Sunday, 1919. On the surface, Elinor is gracious, charming, anxious to belong in Perdido, and eager to marry Oscar Caskey, the eldest son of Perdido's first family. But her beautiful exterior hides a shocking secret. Beneath the waters of the Perdido River, she turns into something terrifying, a creature whispered about in stories that have show more chilled the residents of Perdido for generations. Some of those who observe her rituals in the river will never be seen again ...Originally published as a series of six volumes in 1983, Blackwater is the crowning achievement of Michael McDowell, author of the Southern Gothic classics Cold Moon Over Babylon and The Elementals and screenwriter of Beetlejuice and The Nightmare Before Christmas. This first-ever one-volume edition, with a new introduction by Shirley Jackson Award-winning author Nathan Ballingrud, will allow a new generation of readers to discover this modern horror classic.

WOW. Just wow. I came across the Blackwater series - six books, from The Flood to The Rain, published in the 80s - by accident, and I can't believe I nearly missed such a gem! The best description (not mine) of this Southern Gothic family saga would be The Thorn Birds meets The Shape of Water - a bizarre combination, satisfying my love of the Deep South and horror novels in one.
When a flood devastates the small Alabama town of Perdido just after the First World War, the rising waters bring a mysterious stranger into the lives of the Caskey family. Elinor Dammert, rescued from the top floor of the local hotel by Oscar Caskey, claims to have no family and no past, having travelled to Perdido to take up a teaching position. Oscar and his show more uncle James are immediately smitten, but family matriarch Mary-Love is suspicious. When the inevitable happens and her son marries Elinor, the battle lines are set between the two women - but Elinor has a darker secret than even Mary-Love could imagine. Elinor is a creature of the river, a literal swamp monster, who transforms from a strong-willed woman into the Creature from the Black Lagoon whenever she returns to the waters of the Perdido river. Elinor can also harness the power of the river to kill anyone who crosses her - a thrilling character!
Elinor aside, I think I love the family aspect of the books more than the occasional water-based murder. Told with the same lilting imagery of Harper Lee's Mockingbird or Flannery O'Connor's stories, Michael McDowell weaves a twentieth century fairy tale, where the women rule the family and make the money while the men do as they're told. The Caskeys own the local lumber mill and live in glorious isolation alongside the river - Mary-Love and spinster daughter Sister, Oscar and Elinor, and Uncle James. Marriages and children expand the dynasty, before sadly fading away in the last two novels, but the whole family is full of characters who really come to life and endear themselves to the reader. Even Mary-Love, the mother-in-law from hell! My favourites were Elinor, of course, and Miriam, her first daughter (I could see a lot of myself in Miriam!)
Each book is told in a series of anecdotal chapters, focusing on different family members and their relationships, often resolving a dramatic situation in a satisfying twist - especially when Elinor is involved! James' wife Genevieve returns, creating havoc in his pleasant life, until Elinor marches her off the property and to her death. Same with the errant husband of Queenie, Genevieve's sister. who arrives in Perdido to claim charity from the Caskeys. And when Queenie's son Malcolm falls in with a troublemaker, narrowly escaping prison after a bungled hold-up, Elinor's daughter Frances comes to the rescue when Malcolm's sister is attacked in revenge. The stories can start to sound a little bit pat, and a lot the same, but the narrative is so enchanting that I didn't even care!
What could be better than a rambling family saga set in the Deep South where a river monster livens up the passing years by feeding on her enemies in the water every now and again? Definitely recommended! show less

Epic Southern Family Sagas generally automatically qualify as a Horror genre. IMHO. Deeply creepy, sometimes charming, often batshit crazy, and interspersed with WTF. That's just my normal reaction, however.
Blackwater, on the other hand, raises the water to a new level.
I'm not saying this is all that scary, despite King and Straub lauding this serial novel (combined here as one long novel). But all the elements are here. We're meant to love or really, really hate the characters for their actions and grievances. When the violence comes, it is swift and merciless and sometimes quite creepy. The real charm is in how well written it is.
I was reminded -- quite fondly -- of [b:The House of the Spirits|9328|The House of the Spirits|Isabel show more Allende|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1358615501l/9328._SY75_.jpg|3374404], only rely on a somewhat horrific supernatural element instead. I'm thinking maybe a marid. :) Definitely a powerful water-based beasty. But here's the kicker... the supernatural is never the focus, merely a spice. The family is the meat. Sometimes literally.
I had a really great time with this, and I can't always say that about epic family dramas. Sometimes I get annoyed with them and just want the whole thing to just wrap up, but that was never the case with this one. McDowell never kept us in suspense about the big stuff. We knew how this would end and he delivered in style. It started with a flood and ended in one. :)
So what makes this really stand out from all the other epic family dramas? Southern included?
The children. The children are always the key. I think I may have been more horrified by how they treat the children than any other reason. Not that they were abused... particularly... but how they were all bargaining chips, even a barter system. And here's the weird bit: no matter how horrible the first event was, it actually made a lot of sense in the later incarnations. People are people. Some people don't want the 'extras' but there were lots in the family who wanted a baby. Sometimes this works out well, sometimes it's just horrific. But when I started sympathizing with and appreciating the concept, that's where I really started getting creeped out. It actually started to make a lot of wicked sense. *shiver*
I totally recommend this for all you family saga fans. :) show less

Blackwater: The Complete Saga on audio is absolutely phenomenal! Phenomenal! That's right, it's so good, it deserves two PHENOMENALS.
First-about the book itself. Michael McDowell was a force to be reckoned with as far as writing about family dynamics. If you've read The Elementals, Gilded Needles, or Cold Moon over Babylon, (and if you haven't you SHOULD), you already know that McDowell writes about families like no one else. Now imagine those books expanded to cover several generations of one family, in this case The Caskeys, and you might have an inkling of how great a work of literature, (that's right, I'm calling it literature), Blackwater really is.
Starting with a huge flood in Perdido, Alabama and a mysterious woman found in a show more partially flooded hotel and ending with another flood in the same town, there is a symmetry here not often found in horror fiction. Perhaps it's because Blackwater isn't really a horror novel, (or series of novels, as it was originally released back in the 80's), at all. I would describe it more as a Southern Gothic soap opera or family saga, with supernatural and horrific elements.
One of the things I adore about McDowell, and there are many of them, (click http://charlene.booklikes.com/post/1364466/how-i-came-to-love-a-dead-gay-man-mic... for my essay on McDowell's work), is how he treats horrifying supernatural events as if they were no big deal. Somehow, the way he does that makes the event even more horrifying, if that makes any sense.
Of course, as I mentioned above, McDowell writes family dynamics like no one else and this book proves it. Throughout generations even, McDowell is at the top of his game writing about this family with its rich men and domineering women. Being from Alabama himself, the authenticity of the family's bearing and standing in their community of Perdido is never in doubt. His insights into human behavior are unmatched and beautifully written-without fail. Here's a quote from the first book of this novel,The Flood, (which takes place in the early 1920's):
"That was the great misconception about men: because they dealt with money, because they could hire someone on and later fire him, because they alone filled state assemblies and were elected congressional representatives, everyone thought they had power. Yet all the hiring and firing, the land deals and the lumber contracts, the complicated process for putting through a constitutional amendment-these were only bluster. They were blinds to disguise the fact of men's real powerlessness in life. Men controlled the legislatures, but when it came down to it, they didn't control themselves. Men had failed to study their own minds sufficiently, and because of this failure they were at the mercy of fleeting passions; men, much more than women, were moved by petty jealousies and the desire for petty revenges. Because they enjoyed their enormous but superficial power, men had never been forced to know themselves the way that women, in their adversity and superficial subservience, had been forced to learn about the workings of their brains and their emotions."
I could go on and on about McDowell, as many of you already know, but now I'd like to address the narration of this story by Alabama native Matt Godfrey.
I just don't have the words to describe how McDowell's words, combined with Godfrey's narration, made me feel. Together, they made a great work even greater. Godfrey's voicing was so true to the source material it made the Caskey voices come alive. ALIVE, I say! I laughed out loud many times, and I cried a few times too.
I most especially adored his voicing of James and of Oscar. Don't get me wrong, I loved these characters back when I first read the books a few years ago; but with Matt's voice attached to them, they became larger than life. It was easy for me to recognize who was talking just by the inflections and changes of tone. I've never listened to an audio book where it was easier for me to identify who was who, just by how the narrator voiced them. I've listened to a lot of audios over the last few years, and that's never happened to me-at least not in a book with as many characters as Blackwater. That's why I say now, with no reservations, that this is the BEST audiobook I've ever read. PERIOD.
I hope that I've convinced you to give this audio a try by giving it my HIGHEST recommendation. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it if you do give it a go.

A blend of Gone With the Wind familial saga with some Lovecraftian horror. Surprisingly effective at pulling you along with the story even as little is happening, and then stabbing you in the back with some visceral horror when you're not expecting it. Probably best enjoyed on a porch in a rocking chair while sipping ice tea.
What prevented the four star is the time investment, when the story is not actually explaining much of anything about its own mythology despite the brick sized length. What's an understandable choice in a Lovecraft novella is less forgivable here.

This is a masterpiece that ought to be better known. This is a southern gothic in the best tradition of that genre. It’s a book about family from the early half of the 20th century up to 1980, or thereabouts. It’s about the Caskey family and their rise and sorta fall in the small town of Perdido, Alabama. It’s about blood being thicker than water but mostly it’s an allegory about misfits, or rather those that society sees as misfits, and how they’re really just the same as the rest of us, or their wants and fears are the same anyway. Oh and I forgot, strong women. Almost all the main characters are strong women.
Oh, and I really forgot something important, to bring the misfit theme home, the pivotal character in this family is show more a swamp monster, but you’ll forget that most of the time, it’s that good. Honest. And there are a few vindictive ghosts thrown in. When you think about it, who is more of a misfit than a swamp monster? It’s allegory, stupid.
This is the book [a:Stephen King|3389|Stephen King|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1362814142p2/3389.jpg] wishes he could write. Ignored by literati because it’s categorized as horror instead of their beloved “magical realism,” it’s every bit as profound as anything in the latter genre.

I decided not to finish the audiobook of *Blackwater* by Michael McDowell.
The saga reads more like a generational Southern fairy tale than the kind of historical or social fiction. The central family remains largely insulated from the economic and social upheavals that shaped the South from the 1920s onward, and that stability made the narrative feel less grounded in historical change than I expected.
The story focuses heavily on the fortunes of a powerful family, and much of the town functions more as background than as an active part of the social world. I generally find stories more compelling when they explore how ordinary people navigate major shifts in society rather than following dynastic continuity.
There are interesting elements show more in the series—particularly the slow, atmospheric tone and the strange presence of Elinor—but the overall structure felt too mythic and morally tidy for my taste. Because of that, I found it difficult to stay engaged with the long generational arc and chose to move on to other books. show less

And so the long, dark saga of the Caskey family comes to its inevitable conclusion. From its mysterious beginning to its dark, somber, and not particularly unexpected end, this series really set the high water mark (har har) for Southern Gothic horror fiction. Dynamic, well-defined, evolving characters throughout; lush, immersive backgrounds, and a compelling narrative that inspires unceasing page-turning with trembling fingers. It must be one of the greatest literary crimes of the 20th century that this masterpiece of a series was relegated to grocery store paperback racks when it was first published by Avon back in 1983. McDowell always considered himself (up until his tragic, early death) to be a 'working writer', churning out show more mid-grade fiction in order to pay the bills and keep from punching a clock. I cannot help but assume, however, that he must have known how far above that standard he was writing when he penned this magnum opus in just a few short months.
Romance. Family Saga. Horror. Lovecraftian Weird. Southern Gothic. Epic Dynasty. Suspense. Ghost Story. To be honest, I have a hard time finding reading-friends to whom I would not recommend this book, whatever their particular interests. It crosses so many genre lines that I'd almost say it transcends the concept.
Quite possibly the first series in twenty years that has given me cause to shed tears at its conclusion, not so much for the events surrounding it (though they are impacting), but for the simple knowledge that it will not continue. show less

- The maenad loves—and furiously defends herself against love’s importunity. She loves—and kills. From the depths of sex, from the dark, primeval past of the battles of the sexes arise this splitting and bifurcating of th... (show all)e female soul, wherein woman first finds the wholeness and primal integrity of her feminine consciousness. So tragedy is born of the female essence’s assertion of itself as a dyad.
Vyacheslav Ivanov, “The Essence of Tragedy”
Translated by Laurence Senelick
I will spunge out the sweetness of my heart,
And suck up horror; Love, woman’s thoughts I’ll kill,
And leave their bodies rotting in my mind,
Hoping their worms will sting; not man outside,
Yet... (show all) will I out of hate engender much:
I’ll be the father of a world of ghosts,
And get the grave with carcase.
