Good day Mr. Flanagan! Have you heard of Blackwater: The Complete Caskey Family Saga by Michael McDowell?
Because itβs so up your alley! Multi-generational Southern Gothic. Flooded Alabama town. Matriarchs, secrets, hauntings that arenβt quite ghosts. It has the same sort of atmospheric dread as Midnight Mass and the emotional weight of The Haunting of Hill House.
The structureβs kind of perfect, too... Six short novels that could be a 6β8 episode limited series. I found it while digging into legacy-themed stories for a script Iβm working on, and I havenβt been able to stop thinking about how perfect it would be in your hands.
If youβre ever scrambling for an idea, I think you would do this series justice!
I have indeed read McDowell's Blackwater saga and absolutely loved those books. If a chance to adapt them presents itself, I'd certainly be interested.
