Biblical tales retold as episodes in humanity's battle with the ravenous undead. This series can be read in any order.
First-century Israel. A man wanders out of the desert one day and finds a village in ruins after a night of the walking dead. The survivors have thrown the snarling corpses into the Sea of Galilee, only to starve as the ghoul-haunted sea yields no fish. Will the stranger's coming bring back the fish, or the hungry dead?
In this reimagining of the opening chapters of the book of Mark, an ancient story is made dangerous and raw again...
"Stant Litore has been doing fascinating phantasmagorical things with zombies in biblical times." - Jeff Vandermeer, author of Annihilation
"Intensely troubling and sharply beautiful. I highly anticipate the opportunity to reread it." - Timothy Widman, Wandering Paths
"Nothing about this novel was phoned-in. Even parts of the story that we already knew by heart were revealed brilliantly with the gentle hand of a master surgeon. And Litore told the story his way. I found it refreshing, respectful, and loving." - James Garcia, Jr., author of Seeing Ghosts
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.
