De Bello Lemures, Or The Roman War Against the Zombies of Armorica
De Bello Lemures, Or The Roman War Against the Zombies of Armorica by: Lucius Artorius Castus. Translated by: Thomas Brookside
This time, the isolated farmhouse is a Roman villa. A recovered Latin text tells the story of a struggle between Roman legionaries and the undead in 185 AD. Lucius Artorius Castus leads an expedition to Gaul to defeat a rebellion against the rule of the Emperor Commodus – and gets more than he bargained for when his enemies rise from the dead to fight again. The power of the zombie horde is amplified by the chaos of Ancient Rome’s competing religions and superstitions, and the terror the undead bring in their wake foreshadows the incipient medieval darkness already creeping into the world at the end of Rome’s Antonine age. Richly annotated, this mashup of survival horror and alternate history takes the reader on a bracing journey into one of ancient Rome’s dark corners.
