Inspired by recent true events, the alloriginal 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 the crimes they see, but as they grapple with what to do take action or retreat into the shadows their lives are indelibly changed. In Envy by Christopher Chambers, a sweet, shy wallflower looks on as something horrific happens in his neighborhood revealing something horrific about himself. Agatha Awardwinner Richie Narvaezs The Gardener of Roses sees a Puertorriquena 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 Awardwinner 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 MexicoUS border, World War IItorn France, and the COVID19 pandemic. The stories are incisive, unflinching, wry, dark, and, in some cases, terrifying. Youll ask yourself If I saw what they saw, what would I do? With contributions from Scott Alderberg, Cara Black, Christopher Chambers, Sarah M. Chen, Aaron Philip Clark, Teresa Dovalpage, Tod Goldberg, Gar Anthony Haywood, Darrell James, Richie Narvaez, Gary Phillips, SJ Rozan, Alex Segura, and Pamela Samuels Young.
