The Gospel of the Boiled Saint is a haunting alternate history novel that blends African spirituality, Southern Gothic horror, and religious mythmaking to reimagine the story of Nat Turner as you've never seen it before.
Nzinga Tun'ra is a West African priest captured and enslaved in Virginia. Silenced, stripped of his name, and forced to labor under the lash, he quietly begins to weave a new faith from the ashes of the old-mixing ancestral rites with Catholic ritual, whispered scripture with smoke and blood. When he leads a rebellion and is brutally executed-boiled alive in a copper cauldron-his followers believe his story has ended.
But Nzinga returns.
Burned but unbroken, risen in fire, he walks the earth again-not as a man, but as a living gospel of vengeance and liberation. Those who enslaved others will find their judgment not in the afterlife, but in the smoke-filled fields of the South.
Told through the eyes of Eli McKenna, an Irish indentured servant who bears witness to both miracle and massacre, this novel is a visionary reckoning with faith, justice, and the terror of true freedom. Inspired by The Confessions of Nat Turner, it is a tale for the haunted and the hopeful alike.
