As the dark and menacing waters of the local river submerge Perdido, a small town in the south of Alabama, the Caskeys - a family of rich landowners - must confront the tide of damage caused by the flood. Led by Mary-Love, the powerful matriarch, and by Oscar, her devoted son, the family must pick itself back up. But what they haven't anticipated is the sudden appearance of Elinor Dammert - a mysterious but seductive young woman with a troubling past. Her sole ambition appears to be to infiltrate the very heart of the Caskey clan...
'RIVETING, TERRIFYING...JUST ABSOLUTELY GREAT' STEPHEN KING
'Beyond any trace of a doubt, one of the absolutely best writers of horror' Peter Straub
'One of the genre’s most underrated writers' Poppy Z. Brite
‘His wonderfully conversational style made it feel as if he was imparting a terrible piece of gossip while describing all manner of disturbing events…. his wonderful six volume 'Blackwater' saga chronicles a fifty year period in the lives of the Caskey family, whose women bear a strange affinity for running water, and whose vengeance knows no bounds…constructed for maximum page-turning efficiency’ Christopher, Fowler
