A terrifying tale of supernatural horror set in a cursed Louisiana bayou, from the minds of legendary director George A. 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. Don't miss your chance to see author Daniel Kraus as part of the 2024 Fall Author Series on Wednesday, October 23rd at 7:00PM at the Central Library! Owner fun fact: Author Daniel Kraus grew up in Fairfield!
