Blackwater: The Complete Caskey Family Saga by Michael McDowell
4.0
Well, this was a journey!
It's pretty much a family history in a very Southern Gothic vein. It starts in 1919 with a flood. We follow the fortunes of the Caskey family of southern Alabama through the next six or seven decades.
I saw that this book was categorized as horror. But there's not really a lot of horror. Well, yes, there is SOME. But it's mostly the family's story - the good and the bad, and the slightly uncanny.
I listened to the audiobook. I can't say enough good things about the narration! I listened for hours at a time, because I was ENGROSSED.
Good stuff. I've had this audiobook forever, glad I finally listened to it.
