“O that you, O God, would slay the wicked one! Then even the bloodguilty men will certainly depart from me, Who say things about you according to [their] idea; They have taken up [your name] in a worthless way—your adversaries. Do I not hate those who are intensely hating you, O Jehovah, And do I not feel a loathing for those revolting against you? With a complete hatred I do hate them. They have become to me real enemies.
Search through me, O God, and know my heart. Examine me, and know my disquieting thoughts, And see whether there is in me any painful way, And lead me in the way of time indefinite.”
– Psalms 139:19-24, NWT

My Babylon
A serial 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."
