Welcome to Babylon, a typical sleepy Alabama small town, where years earlier the Larkin family suffered a terrible tragedy. Now they are about to endure another: 14-year-old Margaret Larkin will be robbed of her innocence and her life by a killer who is beyond the reach of the law.

But something strange is happening in Babylon: traffic lights flash an eerie blue, a ghostly hand slithers from the drain of a kitchen sink, graves erupt from the local cemetery in an implacable march of terror. And beneath the murky surface of the river, a shifting, almost human shape slowly takes form. Night after night it will pursue the murderer. And when the full moon rises over Babylon, it will seek a terrible vengeance.

Cold Moon Over Babylon, the second novel by Michael McDowell (1950-1999), author of Blackwater and The Elementals and screenwriter of Beetlejuice and The Nightmare Before Christmas, is a chilling Southern Gothic tale of revenge from beyond the grave that ranks among his most terrifying books.

Any additional comments?

Very good example of a Southern Gothic ghost story. Well written, clever characterisation, interesting cast of characters. Lots of witty, acute observation of small town life. Rather satirical but with lots of pathos. Takes a little while to get going but once it does it's quite gripping. Some of the supernatural scenes are very spooky indeed. Superior pulp horror. The reading is excellent.

Atmospheric, moving, genuinely unsettling

I had read Blackwater which had been described as a horror novel which it actually wasn't. I liked Blackwater though and i thoght if this is supposed to be a horror, maybe McDonald's other books are also unusual and not typical horror. So I gave this one a go not entirely knowing what to expect and I suppose for a horror novel it's OK but horror bores me and this one, unlike Blackwater, is a horror.
my other reason for reading it is because Stephen King has spoken very well of the writer but to be honest as much as I like King, even his horror novels tend to get a bit too much for me. I like a dark story with twists and unusual elements but this is more of a typical horror.
The narrator is pretty decent too, so if you like a horror, give it a go.

OK for a horror storie

i really enjoyed this book. I do love a good horror and the atmosoheric discriptions at times, did give you the creeps! it took sometime to get used to the narrators southern yankie accent but this in itself made it different. without giving too much away, i was very happy to hear the culprit got what was coming to him! i will look out for this writer again.

A VERY GOOD DEBUT NOVEL INDEED
