Blackwater: The Complete Saga
by Michael McDowell
When I think of southern literature I usually go to Faulkner, O'Connor, Welty, etc. This is the first I have heard of Michael McDowell. The story is excellent and since I read the complete saga I got a real good sense of the history behind the story. I found it captivating and entertaining. I don't think I would rate McDowell with those three legends mentioned above but this was an excellent story. It's like watching a movie about a traditional southern family and all of a sudden something really weird happens and you have to go back and reread the passage again to make sure you got it right! I don't know if I'd call this Southern Gothic or Horror but regardless it is very entertaining.
