Synopsis "Blackwater: The Complete Saga (in English)"

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 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, marks Blackwater’s first appearance in print in three decades and will allow a new generation of readers to discover this modern horror classic.

Fue un auténtico monstruo de la literatura. Dotado de una creatividad sin límites, escribió miles de páginas, con una capacidad al nivel de un Balzac o un Dumas. Como ellos, optó por contar historias que llegaran a todo el mundo. Además de novelista, Michael McDowell fue un aclamado guionista. Fruto de su colaboración con Tim Burton fueron Bettlejuice y Pesadilla antes de Navidad, además de un episodio para la serie Alfred Hitchcock presenta. En 1983 publicó la que es sin duda su obra maestra: Blackwater.
