Blackwater: The Complete Saga by Michael McDowell

5.0

5/5 ⭐️. I cannot put into words how much I love this novel. At over 800 pages (30 hours on audio) this is an epic saga if I’ve ever read one. This book is a combination of family saga, Southern gothic, and horror. The book begins in 1919, in Perdido, Alabama. A flood has just decimated the town, and Oscar Caskey runs across a woman stranded in the local hotel. What follows is a story of love, hate, revenge and family, with a little bit of superbly creepy horror sprinkled throughout. This is the second time I have listened to this book. Both times, I balled my eyes out when it was over. I want a tv series now!
