What if the Great Flood wasn’t a biblical event, but rather a looming catastrophe tied to the Vatican’s secrets and ancient gods? What if we’re already living during the Second Coming without even realizing it? These are the chilling premises of Dead Souls by Alexander Suslov. This novel is not just another religious thriller—it’s a theologically charged, fast-paced exploration of faith, redemption, and the human condition.
When Artie Avilis joins a KGB-led tour of his ancestral homeland, he expects to find answers about where he comes from. What he discovers instead could cost him everything he thought he could keep hidden.
Behind the Iron Curtain, identity is policed, desire is dangerous, and even private truths carry consequences. As Cold War tensions mount, Artie is drawn into a web of political and personal intrigue that forces him to confront what he believes, what he wants, and what he is willing to risk to live honestly in a world that demands silence.
Interwoven with Lithuanian folktales and fragments of found haiku, The Boy Who Loved Trees is a lyrical debut about longing, secrecy, and the quiet defiance of becoming oneself.
