The demonic comedy that put acclaimed film director Tim Burton
firmly on the map. The Maitlands (Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin) are
a happy couple who, when killed in a car crash, return as ghosts to
their beloved home to wreak havoc on the ghastly yuppie family who
have moved in. Being novices at haunting, their efforts go
unnoticed by the house's new inhabitants except Goth daughter Lydia
(Winona Ryder), who doesn't mind one bit. At their wit's end, the
ghostly couple call on a despicably disgusting demon named
'Beetlejuice' (Michael Keaton) for help.

"The finest writer of paperback originals in America." - Stephen
King
"Surely one of the most terrifying novels ever written." - Poppy
Z. Brite
"Beyond any trace of doubt, one of the best writers of horror in
this or any other country." - Peter Straub
"Readers of weak constitution should beware " - "Publishers
Weekly"
"McDowell has a flair for the gruesome." - "Washington Post"
After a bizarre and disturbing incident at the funeral of
matriarch Marian Savage, the McCray and Savage families look
forward to a restful and relaxing summer at Beldame, on Alabama's
Gulf Coast, where three Victorian houses loom over the shimmering
beach. Two of the houses are habitable, while the third is slowly
and mysteriously being buried beneath an enormous dune of
blindingly white sand. But though long uninhabited, the third house
is not empty. Inside, something deadly lies in wait. Something that
has terrified Dauphin Savage and Luker McCray since they were boys
and which still haunts their nightmares. Something horrific that
may be responsible for several terrible and unexplained deaths
years earlier - and is now ready to kill again . . .
A haunted house story unlike any other, Michael McDowell's "The
Elementals" (1981) was one of the finest novels to come out of the
horror publishing explosion of the 1970s and '80s. Though best
known for his screenplays for Tim Burton's "Beetlejuice" and "The
Nightmare Before Christmas," McDowell is now being rediscovered as
one of the best modern horror writers and a master of Southern
Gothic literature. This edition of McDowell's masterpiece of terror
features a new introduction by award-winning horror author Michael
Rowe. McDowell's first novel, the grisly and darkly comic "The
Amulet" (1979), is also available from Valancourt Books.
