Featuring 17 tales of Southern horror, dark fantasy, and weird adventure inspired as much by Flannery O'Connor, Eudora Welty, and Shirley Jackson as by F. Marion Crawford, Stephen King, and Ray Bradbury, Sean Taylor's A CROWD IN BABYLON takes readers from the chilling underside of the urban landscape to the homegrown terrors of rural life and hidden frights that lie beneath suburban smiles.
Inside the pages of A CROWD IN BABYLON, readers will meet a diverse and macabre group of characters, including:
• A zombie writer whose work funds the lifestyle of her cheating husband
• A musician who learns that true art requires irretrievable loss
• A Cherokee brave who must face the monsters from his people's legends
• A time-traveling widow nursing a violent and deadly grudge
• A woman who needs four-footed help to teach her grandchild to grieve
• A young writer obsessed with a dead actress
• An immigrant haunted by the vengeful ghosts of children
• And ten other creepy tales
