Sean Taylor invites you to join the Crowd in Babylon in his new collection of dark and horror tales!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Atlanta, GA (March 8, 2024) — 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.
This collection includes both stories that have been out of print for a while — such as “The Fairest of Them All: A Symphony of Revenge,” the Zombies vs. Robots (IDW) tale “Farm Fresh,” and “Posthumous” — and brand-new stories, such as the title tale, “A Lot Different from the Brochures, Isn’t It?,” “The Ghosts of Children,” “The Color of the Blues,” and many more.
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!
“This one has been a long time coming,” Taylor says. “So much happened to delay the release of this, my first horror collection, but I couldn’t stop pushing. Horror is so important to me. It’s one of my favorite genres to write, and I hope even a little of that love for the genre shines through the book.”
A CROWD IN BABYLON is currently available as a trade paperback for $14.99 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CW5Q3YQZ) and a Kindle ebook for $2.99 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CW1WMZMV), both from Amazon.
Sean Taylor writes short stories, novellas, novels, graphic novels, and comic books (yes, Virginia, there is a difference between comic books and graphic novels, just like there’s a difference between a short story and a novel). In his writing life, he has directed the “lives” of zombies, superheroes, goddesses, dominatrices, Bad Girls, pulp heroes, and yes, even frogs, for such diverse bosses as IDW Publishing, Gene Simmons, and The Oxygen Network.
