n the brightly decadent nightscape of New Orleans, strange figures stalk the fringes of existence, demanding sacrifice and blood. In backwoods rural Georgia, flesh stirs among the overgrown graveyards. And in the human swamp of Calcutta, the souls of the undead 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 ... `Brite's vision is disturbingly dark deliciously erotic, sweetly savage uniquely her own ... this young writer cakes us to places few will have the courage to visit and none would tour alone'---- Dan Simmons Poppy Z. Brite was born in 1967 in New Orleans. She has since lived all over the American South, but in 1993 she returned to her hometown for good.
