McDowell’s first novel, the grisly and darkly comic The Amulet (1979), is also available from Valancourt Books. As long as you're not one of those splatterpunk fanatics who demands someone getting wasted every other page. They seem to break rules that we think they are supposed to follow, and part of the brilliant aspect of this book is that it doesn't feel like the author is cheating with this. India was treated as an adult and was never afraid to share her thoughts and feelings with her father.Most of the characters have some form of anxiety, which they seek to control through different measures. Lounging in Beldame with the Savages and McCrays was blissful, but I also didn't want to read too quickly. This book just pulls at your heart strings and really causes you to stay up into the n ight just to read it. They have a similar strangeness to them that in part stems from the heat of the outback, in part from the otherness of the location.

But there was an honesty and openness that they shared with a real sense of equality that I found refreshing.

I'll be blunt; I think this is one of the best horror novels to come out of the 80s… no, I'll go ahead and say it, I think this is my favorite horror novel to come out of the 80s.It has an air of mystery surrounding it and it isn't long before the youngest member of the group, India, takes a keen interest in it and ventures over to take a few photos. I think this book is perfect for fans of the ‘ Percy Jackson ‘ series by Rick Riordan as it follows the same idea of children being descendants of the Greek Gods, only instead of being Demigods they’re witches. Something that has terrified Dauphin Savage and Luker McCray since they were boys and which still haunts their nightmares.
