it was amazing

This is my third McDowell novel after The Elementals and Blackwater, and he never fails to exceed my expectations.

Behind him was the moon, frigid and enormous, imparting a dense primeval phosphorescence to everything before him. Only his own body remained in shadow.

Cold Moon Over Babylon is a near perfect Southern Gothic about small town relationships, greed, and vengeance. I seriously cannot recommend this book enough. Michael McDowell was a true master of atmosphere.

She cleared her lungs of the black water of the Styx, and pushed open the top of her coffin.
