These characters get to be Southern "eccentrics," just as many queer Southerners before them hiding in plain sight. There are ups and there are lows, but one thing is for sure, the women of the Caskey clan sure do take care of business.
Jack and Susan are always 27 years old, always meeting for the first time, always acquiring the same white dog, and always falling in love. The latter element is so fascinating, the social divide between Native Americans to other Americans is tackled in a tasteful and nuanced fashion, it’s not at the focus which I argue is even more effective. This saddened me because this book and "The Elementals" are brilliant works and the book community lost so much. There were the ones who were making vital changes to society, it never undermined it for the male characters it’s just so female dominated it's very fascinating. He understood the political ramification with some nuance, and the prose I found to be efficient, enchanting and beautiful.In addition, McDowell has also supplied the screenplays for various films, including director Tim Burton's horror comedy Beetlejuice and his animated production The Nightmare Before Christmas. Life after slavery is a tragedy, I had some preconceptions of what life would be like after the Civil War but the most surprising thing, almost nothing changed. Having said that, there were times when the narrative really shined, and these were the creepier (and most integral) parts of the story. His final, unfinished novel Candles Burning was completed by novelist Tabitha King and published in 2006. Beneath the waters of the Perdido River, she turns into something terrifying, a creature whispered about in stories that have chilled the residents of Perdido for generations.
It is one of the most striking and ambitious horror novels that has languished in almost complete obscurity until recently.
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.
