Quote:
Brookside hits a home run with this self-published 100-page story by thoroughly commiting to presenting the story as a genuine Roman manuscript. The translator's introduction analyzes the document's discovery and provenance, even delving into the fact that if it were fiction, it would've been produced hundreds of years before the first "proto-novels" were written. Brookside includes numerous footnotes throughout the story enhancing the understanding of the Roman world through translation and cultural analysis.
Brookside's writing is smooth, and he's nailed the perfect tone that blends "ancient manuscript" with blood-and-gore zombie storytelling.
