In the Fields We Thirst

From acclaimed author Sean Ferrell comes a gripping historical horror novel set during the devastation of World War I, where the terrors of the battlefield reveal something far worse than enemy fire across the dark, frozen trenches.

December 1916, The Somme.

For every day is a fight to survive…and every night brings memories he cannot outrun.

Beyond the trenches, somewhere within the shattered wasteland of shell craters, corpses, and ruin, there is a presence seemingly untouched by the rules of war—one that has been watching, waiting, and feeding on the chaos around it…
