Inspired by recent true events, the all-original stories in Witnesses for the Dead are set in motion by the act of witnessing. The characters who populate these pages are not themselves the perpetrators of crimes, but find their lives indelibly changed by what they see as they grapple with coming forward, taking action, or retreating into the shadows.
In Envy by Christopher Chambers, a sweet, shy wallflower looks on as something horrific happens in his neighborhood--revealing something horrific about himself. Agatha Award-winner Richie Narvaez's The Gardener of Roses sees a Puertorriqueña college student on the run from the FBI for her accidental involvement in a terrorist plot. Anthony Award-winner Gary Phillips confronts police corruption in Spiders and Fly. And the protagonist of A Family Matter by IPPY Award-winner Sarah M. Chen investigates the murder of a stranger, leading her to question the political structure of Taiwan entirely. Other stories feature a brothel, the film industry, immigrant detention centers at the Mexico-US border, World War II-torn France, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The stories are incisive, unflinching, wry, dark, and, in some cases, terrifying. You'll ask yourself: If I saw what they saw, what would I do?
