Simultaneously haunting and humorous, Babylon is a Southern Gothic tale of depression, despair, religion, dead crows, and a slowly approaching wild fire.
Daniel had moved to San Francisco seven years ago with the hopes of becoming a successful novelist. With the failure of that dream and the notion that the schizophrenia he suffered from in his youth was coming back with a vengeance, Daniel leaves the Bay Area and heads back to his home town of Babylon in the West Texas desert. Although the loathing he felt for the town as a child has not subsided, he falls ever deeper into the routine of existence in a dead town, as his psychological symptoms spiral out of control and he feels hounded by everything from UFOs to snake-handling preachers, to the devil himself. Simultaneously haunting and humorous, Babylon is a Southern Gothic tale of depression, despair, religion, dead crows, and a slowly approaching wild fire.
