Endowed with boundless creativity, he wrote thousands of pages, with a capacity on par with a Balzac or a Dumas. Like them, he chose to tell stories that would reach everyone. And, like them, he chose the most popular means of dissemination: the serial, or novel in installments, in the case of the \u003ci\u003e19th century masters\u003c\/i\u003e; the paperback in McDowell's case. In addition to being a novelist, Michael McDowell was an acclaimed screenwriter. The result of his collaboration with Tim Burton were \u003ci\u003eBeetlejuice\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Nightmare Before Christmas\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as an episode for the series \u003ci\u003eAlfred Hitchcock Presents\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Michael McDowell: my friend, my teacher.
