Alligators of Abraham — Robert Kloss

Robert Kloss'sThe Alligators of Abrahamis a fever dream built from the fly-strewn corpses of armies, the megalomania of generals, the madness of widows, the fires of mourning, the fury of the poor, the indifference of the wealthy, and the ravenous hissing of those alligators who have ever plagued the shores of our national nightmares. With a cover design and interior illustrations by Matt Kish, author of Tin House'sMoby-Dick in Pictures, this is a Civil War epic unlike any others.
