Biography

McDowell was born in Enterprise, Alabama. According to his 1985 biography in Toplin, he lived in Medford, Massachusetts, and also kept a residence in Hollywood with his sister Ann and adventurer-filmmaker Peter Lake. The biography depicted a typical day as McDowell "writing in the mornings and spending the rest of the day looking out the window hoping for something interesting to happen," as well as "collecting photographs of corpses." He focused on gathering images of train-decapitation victims and plaques from baby caskets. McDowell's life partner for 30 years was theatre historian and director Laurence Senelick. He passed away in 1999 in Boston, Massachusetts, from an AIDS-related illness. His unfinished novel, Candles Burning, was completed by Tabitha King, wife of Stephen King, and published in 2006.
