So, when I’m in the mood for a tear-jerker, or a darker book, I’ll reach for those beautifully written books. In a world full of pain and darkness, I want to give something light and fun, to remind people you can find happiness and enjoy life through it all. Yes, I write fluff, and I’m darn proud of it.

It's a page-turner with no pretensions, just lots of homicide and gore. He just gets right to it: big, mean, momma is pissed that her boy got maimed, and proceeds to wreak vengeance on the town with a cursed amulet. It's got some rough edges and plot holes, but mostly because McDowell doesn't waste time with exposition or creating a complicated plot. I think he was really quite a gifted and underrated writer. I've enjoyed every one of Michael McDowell's bloody little supernatural Southern Gothic thrillers, published in the 80s during the paperback horror boom. As the inexplicable murders continue, Sarah and her friend Becca Blair have no choice but to track down the amulet themselves, before it's too late. Sarah believes the amulet has something to do with the rising body count, but no one will believe her. Jo blames the entire town for her son's mishap, and when she gives a strange piece of jewelry to the man she believes most responsible, a series of gruesome deaths is set in motion. After long and tedious days on the assembly line, she returns home to care for her corpse-like husband while enduring her loathsome and hateful mother-in-law, Jo. When a rifle range accident leaves Dean Howell disfigured and in a vegetative state, his wife Sarah finds her dreary life in Pine Cone, Alabama made even worse.

The sound almost make me want to go away again, or at least stuff my ears while it lasted. "One of the richest?" The duchess laughed. "From what I've heard since I've arrived in town, he's rumoured to be one of the richest men in London," She said defensively. Lady Allen, obviously the one who had asked the question, flushed a little. I should have been able to guess from the tone. I was so quickly at the potted plant behind which the group of gossiping ladies where hiding that I saw who had spoken. The voice was full of glee and juicy gossip. Released from service he worked for a newspaper, and wrote in his spare time. While recuperating from malaria in San Francisco, he met Betty Beck, a Marine sergeant they married in 1945. He was sent to the US after suffering from dengue fever, malaria and a recurrence of asthma that made him miss the devastation of his battalion at the Battle of Saipan, which was featured in Battle Cry. He served in the South Pacific with the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines Regiment, where he was stationed in New Zealand, and fought as a radioman in combat on Guadalcanal and Tarawa from 1942 through 1944. When he was 17 and in his senior year of high school, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps.
