«La crue» is the mystery and horror novel by Michael McDowell, published by Monsieur Toussaint Louverture in paperback (256 pages, in French).
In 1919, the Blackwater River flood inundates Perdido, a small town in northern Alabama, and wreaks havoc on the sawmills of the Caskey family, a powerful clan of landowners ruled by matriarch Mary-Love and her son Oscar. As they try to recover, the arrival of Elinor Dammert, an attractive stranger with a murky past, disrupts their plans and shakes the family's balance.
First installment of the Blackwater saga, a series of six novels; the original was published in 1983 as Blackwater Part I: The Flood. French translation by Yoko Lacour and Hélène Charrier.
Recommended for readers of gothic horror, mystery, and family sagas with a supernatural atmosphere.
