Elementals: The Complete Series

Product Information

It managed to be funny at times, terrifying at other and for much of it, such a well told southern gothic that I forgot about the horror aspects, just engrossed in the dynamics of these two families. This is one story that I can see re-reading every few years, just to bring back that sense of utter foreboding that I got from it.

Danielle had a constant attitude with Nicole as it was clear that Nicole felt some form of way towards Blake.

Nicole at first refused to believe that she was meant for this class, but then much later realized that she was the lead of it. The Elementals by Michael McDowell was first released in 1981 and then re-released in 2014 by Valancourt Books with an introduction by author Michael Rowe. While I was reading the novel, an article appeared in The New Statesman about an Edwardian ghost story that had been part of Book at Bedtime on BBC Radio 4. Unexpectedly, these anxiety/control relationships made me think about my own issues with anxiety and control, which isn’t something I would have thought would have come out of reading a horror story.As a Greek mythology nerd, I would give this book a solid 10/10, but for someone who may not be as into mythology or simply doesn’t have enough time on their hands to read a 700+ page book, they may rate it differently.

McDowell's Katie, meanwhile, concerns a clairvoyant serial killer whose powers of perception enable her to evade her trackers.Continuing, after moving into this new school, she was put into a class of what seemed like a bunch of awkward high school kids. But again, as I found with the ‘ Lightening Thief‘, ‘ The Prophecy of Shadows‘ is quite informative and educational if you were wanting to learn a bit about the Greek Gods and also the elements, as this is what the five main characters powers are able to control.
