Blackwater I: The Flood is a thrilling gothic horror phenomenon.

'Riveting, terrifying, and just absolutely great' - Stephen King

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...

'Beyond any trace of a doubt, one of the absolutely best writers of horror' - Peter Straub
