Synopsis

Biblical tales retold as episodes in humanity's battle with the ravenous undead. This series can be read in any order.

It is 587 BC. A vast army lies encamped about Yirmiyahu's city, and a rebellious king has closed the city gates, locking in the living and the dead together. Only one man can see that the dead will overwhelm the city. Only one man can hear the quiet weeping of his God behind her veil in the temple. Only one man will stand against the evils practiced in a dying city.

But the things he sees and the things he must do will call into question every promise he has made, every duty he has sworn - to his wife, his God, and his city.

"Heartbreaking and wonderful." - Conflictium

"The Zombie Bible is philosophy played out in bleak landscapes. It's psychology set to the harsh strains of Prokofiev. Litore's prose is lean and hungry; his characters are faceted all-round like various colored stones; his scenes pulse with blood and life, ring with metal or reek of sweat and undeath." - Marc McDermott

"Stant Litore has been doing fascinating phantasmagorical things with zombies in biblical times." - Jeff Vandermeer, author of Annihilation

"Litore's vibrant writing rips the lid off of the King James version and reveals to us a world of intense human hopes, dreams and pathos. You've never seen anything like this before." - Richard Ellis Preston, Jr., author of Romulus Buckle and the City of the Founders

The SILVER EDITION is a director's cut of The Zombie Bible. Originally published in 2011, this volume is now being re-released, freshly edited, with new art, and as the author always imagined it. We hope you will enjoy the read!

About this title

About the Author

Born a farmer's son in the Pacific Northwest, Stant Litore took the college road and 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. He avoids certain parts of the mountains during the dark of the moon.
