To celebrate surpassing 2,000 followers, I am putting my
novels on sale for 99 cents through April 3rd.

I consider My Babylon my best work to date. Personally
cathartic, I wrote My Babylon in the gloom shrouded winter of 2013, driven
through the dark months, and completing it the spring with the promise of life
returned. I believe anyone with a taste for a dark, psychological tale with
occult themes would enjoy this book.

Get the ebook on Amazon for 99 cents. Also available in
print. Buy the print edition and receive the Kindle edition for free.

_____________

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.

The Complete edition contains all five books of the My
Babylon story.

Reviews* for 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.”

“James has put together a great story with great
characters who feel authentic, even as they go about tasks that you’d be
horrified to find out your neighbors were up to. And even though Mike, the
magician who narrates this story, is involved in really heinous activities, I
still like the guy. And that is an impressive feat.”

“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.”

“In the end, you’re left with the sense of a
masterfully conceived protagonist who gives credence to the idea of the
unsympathetic character. It also maintains an orbiting cluster of supporting
characters who are interesting in their own right but also necessary to the
development of the protagonist.”

Please Help!

We’re in a pretty bad situation right now. Last week, a driver ran a red light and destroyed our car. My wife, who has had knee problems all her life, had her knees slammed into the dashboard destroying a year’s worth of rehabilitation and leaving her in pain.

She’s had to take a week off of work without pay, and my job requires that I have a car to visit clients and attend court.

We can really use a boost and there are several ways you can help.

If you enjoy our podcasts, Scroll of Thoth, and Geeks Out After Dark, you can go to their respective websites and use the paypal donation button. Every little bit helps. You can also use the Amazon search windows on either website to buy your Yule gifts on Amazon. You just start your first search through our site and everything you buy gets us a small kickback.

You can also purchase one of our books, like My Babylon, Chasing the Wyrm, or Paul Vs. The Vampire. We even have a Mid-World  Arts Christmas collection with our fellow indie writers. We just dropped the price on that from $6.99 to $2.99. You can get My Babylon and Chasing the Wyrm in print if you prefer.

I know many folks don’t have much to spare. Just going to Amazon and leaving a review for our books helps. You can even get My Babylon: Book One for free and give that a review. Leaving a review on iTunes or Stitcher helps promote our podcasts.

Last, reblogging this to get the word out would be greatly appreciated.

Joyous Yule and Happy Holidays. May you have great cheer as the light of the world returns to us.

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.”

Got my first 3 star review today for My Babylon (the rest have been 5). The review seemed to like the writing and the story but did not find the book true to the ideology of Mr. Crowley. 

If the reviewer reads this I am grateful for every single honest review I get.

Speaking of which, and this may be the wrong place to be asking, would anyone care to leave a review based on the merits of the story alone? I have a lot of reviews that touch on the occult nature of the book but I’m curious on how people feel about it purely as a work of fiction.

This is the one I am most proud of. Not just a novel but my devotion to the Red Goddess. 

Get it as an ebook at Amazon, Kobo, Smashords, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Sony. Or in print at Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
