Story
Welcome to Babylon, a typical sleepy Alabama small town, where years earlier the Larkin family suffered a terrible tragedy. Now they are about to endure another: 14-year-old Margaret Larkin will be robbed of her innocence and her life by a killer who is beyond the reach of the law. But something strange is happening in Babylon: traffic lights flash an eerie blue, a ghostly hand slithers from the drain of a kitchen sink, graves erupt from the local cemetery in an implacable march of terror.

Two of the houses are habitable, while the third is slowly and mysteriously being buried beneath an enormous dune of blindingly white sand. But though long uninhabited, the third house is not empty.

Descendants of WATCHERS...

Publisher's summary
When Philo Drax receives a letter from her wealthy grandfather saying he fears for his life at the hands of the vicious Slape family, she rushes to the rescue. But too late! Katie Slape, a monstrous girl with psychic powers and a penchant for smashing skulls with her hammer, has already finished him off and gotten hold of his cash.
Determined to track down the murderers, Philo hunts Katie and her family through the streets of 1860s New York, where the Slapes’ coffers are filling up with money as their cellar fills up with corpses. But going after the Slapes might be the worst decision of Philo’s life, for no one escapes the bashing of Katie’s hammer!
A bloody, action-packed romp, Katie (1982) is a throwback to the exciting and violent “penny dreadfuls” of the Victorian era and features the same brilliant writing as Michael McDowell’s classic horror novels The Elementals and Blackwater.
“A great read - evocative of another era, engrossing from the first page, chilling.” (Publishers Weekly)
“McDowell must now be regarded as the finest writer of paperback originals in America.” (Stephen King)
“Michael McDowell has a flair for the gruesome...the nurturing of utmost horror.” (Washington Post)
“You need a strong stomach...filled with gore and horror. At the same time, he writes so well that you can’t stop reading his books.” (Ocala Star-Banner)

The people in the grocery store just wanted to make sure he couldn't buy the spice he needed to make the recipe he'd selected for that night (recipes must be followed exactly). Obviously they wanted him to eat out...to meet the waitress, Marta, to see her horrible, unspeakable, unbearable ugliness. It was obvious to him: her maimed, twisted face was the living desire to be dead. He had to help Marta be dead.

A legend has been handed down through the ages, telling of an ancient mountain people, dedicated to evil, who were massacred by the villagers' ancestors 3,000 years ago. What does this folktale have to do with a man's recurring nightmares, the murder of a High Court judge, an outbreak of food poisoning, a strange road accident, and the death of a rock climber? Sir Marcus Levin is determined to find out.

If you like Michael McDowell, you’ll love this!
I have listened to every other book by McDowell on Audible and this is just as great as the rest. This one packs a bit more of a punch in the gore aspect, but the story and characters are just as well written as his other novels. Stephen king isn’t wrong when he praises McDowells writing. He was truly one of the best!

If Mark Twain were more gruesome
Another fairly tale like story that might be worthy of an R Rated Disney movie. Let me just put this out there that if you love dogs then you will have an issue with this story because 3 dogs die (1 puppy early on, one ill tempered watch dog belonging to a murderous family, and one yippy small dog that gets his revenge after death). That aside, the whole tale is very much like a Mark Twain style story of murder, orphans and justice. I can only believe some folks will make a term paper analyzing all the story elements and reversals of fortune but much like the main character you might just grouse about the ending not being filled with more action. It is fun if a little bloody and a nice example of the writers craft.

Recently discovered this author. His story are long and detailed to the point where you wonder what the point is. Then “things” start happening and you understand why you needed to know all those details. Superb storyteller. Narrator was slightly annoying but I was able to get past it.

Well worth 1 credit— but not incredible
His good writing saves this from being a 3 star. It’s not horror... it’s basically a fairy tale?! It’s a story of a poor girl mixed up with very bad luck and murder (repeat 4x) with the immediate reversal of said back luck due to pure good luck (not hard work or effort on her part). The characters have zero depth but are somehow enjoyable? So bizarre— honestly how a book this “heavy” zips right along and then ends the way it does.

Katie Don't Play....with that hammer and knife.
It was a bit slow at the beginning, but the pace picked up which was nice. It was a nice, period slasher horror read. I could see this turned into a movie.
