This is easily the most frightening book I've ever read. Angry ghosts take their revenge on evil murderers. Scary, scary, scary!

I just finished this book for the second time. Must admit it was as good this time around as it was almost 30 years back! Michael McDowell was a wonderful writer and I don't think there is a book that he had wriiten that I haven't read/liked. The suspense and shear terror in Cold Moon Over Babylon is enough to keep you on the edge of your seat...
This is a real page turner! I read this book in two days because the story is so good I couldnt put it down! Absolutely terrific characters in a small town who have evil among them. The scares are horrific and will keep you looking everytime you drive down an old country road, especially at night. Spooky. Best Michaal Mcdonald yet.
The death of a young girl in a southern town unleashes supernatural forces bent on revenge. McDowell's career was woefully short (he died young) and this is one of his best spooky tales (I feel his best is The Elementals.) He evokes a brooding, unescapable terror and unlike in many similarly themed stories, the reader might feel that the victims of the haunting are getting just what they deserve.
