Jesus Wept in the Waffle House

A disgraced grief counselor walks into a 24-hour diner and finds a booth where the living can speak to the dead.There is only one rule: you have to eat the dead person's final meal.Tyler Morris has built a ruined career out of other people's grief. Suspended, sober by technicality, and avoiding the hospice calls about his dying mother, he returns to Georgia and stumbles into Grace's All-Night, a roadside diner with a broken halo on the sign and a booth no one sits in after 2:17 a.m.Booth 7 does not offer comfort. It does not give closure. It lets the dead return long enough to correct the story.Every encounter leaves a receipt.The receipt does not list food. It lists what the living still owe.When Tyler's dead brother's final breakfast appears on the counter, Tyler is pulled into a supernatural reckoning involving Ryan, the brother he failed, and The Lazarus Method, a luxury grief empire that wants to turn the booth into a controlled closure experience for the rich, guilty, and desperate.Led by the calm and merciless Dr. Liam Fisher, Lazarus does not want to silence the dead.It wants to manage them.Darkly funny, profane, surreal, and emotionally raw, Jesus Wept in the Waffle House is a standalone supernatural noir thriller about grief, exploitation, memory, and the one command the living keep violating: Let the dead finish.
