What if you had a gift to bring rest to the restless dead?
No one in ancient Rome knows why the dead are rising to devour their families. The patrician class thinks the dead hunger because the new cult of Christianity is depriving Roman tombs of their proper rites. But Father Polycarp, who faces the walking corpses in the dirty alleys and tenements of Rome's ghetto district, believes the dead rise because the living died hungry. Confronting the ghouls in the dark hours, he can gaze into their eyes and see their stories, see everything they craved in life.
And he believes he can help, but the stress of gazing into all those souls may rip him apart.
And that’s if Rome doesn’t burn him for it first.
What Our Eyes Have Witnessed gives you a tale of the early church and the decline of Rome...but not as you have ever seen it before.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
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.
