Don’t take my word for it. Here’s what reviewers have said about My Babylon.

“Captivating, interesting, dark, and at times even funny."

"Darkly horrific, Lovecraftian work. Parts of it make you squeamish, parts send chills down your spine. A deft illustration of the black side of the human soul."

"What I really loved about this work was what was left unsaid–telling a story with details rather than stating the obvious is becoming a lost art. What surprised me about this work was how much it drew me in despite my merely mild interest in the occult."

"Not for the timid this book, but well worth it."

"An intriguing look at what drives us …"

"It’s the struggle to remain sane, keep discrete, and keep the emotional compulsions in control that structures the suspense of this thriller."

”My Babylon is really in a genre all of its own. I’ve never read anything like it. Dramatically and narratively it’s a little Chuck Palahnuik, it’s a little Stephen King, and it’s even a little Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It’s moody and atmospheric and intelligent and relentless and tempered and self-deprecating as well.“

"It’s weird and it’s wild. It’s an excellent book. It is both excellent in the sense of its ideas and in its technique. It’s fantastically edited, it’s ambitious and courageous and totally wild and different, and chances are you really have never read anything even remotely close to it.”

My Babylon, by James L. Wilber

A novel about the paranormal and dark desires. The story of a cursed young man who has an intimate view of the Apocalypse. My Babylon weaves elements of urban fantasy, erotic horror, and real-world occult practices to form a unique personal tale that thrills, terrifies, and even enlightens.

In My Babylon, the magus, consumed with longing, seeks to create a replacement for his lost love using a grisly ritual that requires the theft of a body. Through her creation, he learns that he has a much bigger role to play, and that she may be a form of salvation not only for him but for others.
