" O]ne of the best writers of horror in this or any other country."
- Peter Straub
"One of the genre's most underrated writers . . . enjoyably
nasty." - Poppy Z. Brite
"A must-read for horror fiction fans. . . . Obtain "The Amulet" by
any means necessary." - "Too Much Horror Fiction"
"McDowell has a flair for the gruesome." - "Washington Post"
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. After long and tedious days on the
assembly line, she returns home to care for her corpselike husband
while enduring her loathsome and hateful mother-in-law, Jo. 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. Sarah believes the
amulet has something to do with the rising body count, but no one
will believe her. 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 . . .
Michael McDowell (1950-1999) is best known for his screenplays to
the films "Beetlejuice" and "The Nightmare Before Christmas," but
he was also the author of several excellent and underrated Southern
Gothic horror novels, of which "The Amulet" (1979) was the first.
Originally published as a pulp paperback, now scarce and long
out-of-print, McDowell's grimly humorous and delightfully horrific
novel returns to print in this edition, which features a new
introduction by Poppy Z. Brite.
