In backwoods Georgia, flesh stirs among the unknown graveyards. And in the human swamp of Calcutta, the souls of the dead walk among the living... Poppy Z. Brite is back to haunt us with twelve new tales of bizarre and seductive terror.From America's fastest rising horror star—author of Drawing Blood and Lost Souls—Swamp Foetus is a trip to the black heart of longing... to the darkest regions of desire...
