Michael McDowell Ê Blackwater VI Rain ePub

Blackwater VI RainN But slowly silently unimaginable horrors were creeping into their midstAt the height of the revelry at the peak of chaos in the fearful silence I’m finished Gutted My journey is now over and I want nothing than to restart book one and meet the Caskeys againThanks to this novel’s title and cover I knew how Michael McDowell ended his magnum opus but didn’t think it would be so emotional or well wrought or damn scary The scares herein are some of the most effective I’ve read in a while maybe because over the previous five books these characters and settings were so well developed What can I say? Rain is a pitch perfect finale to one of the finest stories told in horror fiction one I’d love to see as a miniseries perhaps on Hulu or Netflix This is a saga I won’t soon forget and I already want to visit Perdido once
