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 Renรฉe Pontiac has heard stories of "the Piper"โa murderous swamp entity haunting the bayouโher 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 ancestorsโthe infamous slave traders, the Pirates Lafitte. If they don't . . . it's time to pay the piper.
