Biblical tales retold as episodes in humanity's battle with the ravenous undead. This series can be read in any order.
Ancient Rome. Regina endures a death-in-life as a slave in the Subura, the ancient world's most terrible ghetto -- until a strange man sees her suffering and gives her a coat, a new name, and a new life.
The man is Polycarp, and he has the Gift of gazing into the eyes of the hungry dead and granting them rest -- a Gift that comes at a terrible cost. And ancient Rome may burn him for it.
It is AD 96. Polycarp and Regina -- their faith and their love -- will be tested as they have never imagined. And their story will shake you to the heart.
"If I could write a one-word review, it would be Wow. I still can't get over the beautiful horror of Litore's writing. Regina was a breathtaking character who stole the show for me. Even as I write this review, my eyes mist over. Highly recommended." - Jennifer Bielman, Reading and Writing Urban Fantasy
"Gruesome and human and lyrical and horrible, The Zombie Bible is like nothing you have ever read. Once you're in, you'll stay." - S.G. Redling, author of Flowertown and Damocles
Stant Litore
Stant Litore was born a farmer's son in the Pacific Northwest. He eventually earned his PhD in English, but remains passionate for things that grow. He spent several years in a dim corner of a library, repairing bruised and battered books, before heading overseas to backpack through Europe. Haunted by the hunger and poverty he witnessed at home and abroad, he began spinning stories about the hungers that devour us and the hopes that preserve us. Today he lives in Colorado with his wife and their two daughters, writing about the restless dead and the restless living.
