"Nothing is broken that cannot be remade. Nothing is ill that cannot be healed, nothing captive that cannot be freed. That is what he taught us."

Of the four books in the Zombie Bible series, I have read two: What Our Eyes Have
Witnessed, and Death Has Come Up Into Our Windows. I wasn’t sure what to
expect. "Zombie" and "Bible" were two words I did not think I would see sharing a title. "The Zombie Bible series is surprisingly good" is not a sentence I anticipated writing either. Nevertheless, there it is.
According to his website, Mr. Litore's first book, Death Has Come Up into Our
Windows, reached the #2 horror
bestseller on Kindle in December 2011 before being translated into several languages. While he has continued to write, he has been a guest on numerous Comic Con panels, appeared in podcast interviews for
ReelNerds and The Geek Port, and been featured in “The Year’s Best New Sci-Fi” at
NPR (March 2014). He has also received coverage in multiple magazines,
including the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the Huffington Post, SF Signal, and
Weird Fiction Review (check out the link here for more media coverage).
Stant Litore takes both zombies and the Bible
seriously. He writes, “My first real encounter with
the stories of the Old Testament occurred when I was a second-grader. Someone
at school gave me a Bible and I took it home and (because I was an insanely
fast reader) I plowed through Genesis before going to sleep that night. Those
stories were compelling; they had me riveted. And they had me asking all kinds
of questions. I wanted my readers to have that experience.”
