À propos de cet audio
A terrifying tale of supernatural horror set in a cursed Louisiana bayou, from the minds of legendary director George Romero and bestselling author Daniel Kraus.
In 2019, while sifting through University of Pittsburgh Library’s System’s George A. Romero Archival Collection, novelist Daniel Kraus turned up a surprise: a half-finished novel called Pay the Piper, a project few had ever heard of. In the years since, Kraus has worked with Romero’s estate to bring this unfinished masterwork to light.
Alligator Point, Louisiana, population 141: Young Renée Pontiac has heard stories of “the Piper”—a murderous swamp entity haunting the bayou—her entire life. But now the legend feels horrifically real: children are being taken and gruesomely slain. To resist, Pontiac and the town’s desperate denizens will need to acknowledge the sins of their ancestors—the infamous slave traders, the Pirates Lafitte. If they don’t . . . it’s time to pay the piper.
Perfect for fans of George A. Romero’s pioneering horror movies or his previous collaboration with Daniel Kraus, The Living Dead, Pay the Piper is a thrilling tale of dark folklore, grisly murders, and the horrors that manifest when a community must confront its shadowy past. Readers looking for gothic horror books will enjoy the chilling supernatural elements and haunting Southern setting, and anyone who enjoys scary books for adults will appreciate the chance to dive into this lost work by a celebrated horror icon.

“This audiobook opens with an explanation of why the narrator uses modified Cajun accents throughout. New Orleans-born narrator Sophie Amoss digs deep to develop other well-differentiated voicings for the residents of Alligator Point. Her Cajun and French pronunciations are mostly spot-on. As Pontiac is central to the story, Amoss gives her heart with a South Louisiana voicing.… Use of tension, pacing, and volume enhance the sinister nature of trickster Piper as he evokes evil each time he emerges from the swamp.”—AudioFile Magazine
“A great action-packed horror novel . . . for fans of waterlogged southern gothic with monsters that prey off the complicated history of a land and its people”―Booklist
“A captivating triumph for horror fans.”―Tananarive Due, author of The Reformatory
