The second installment of the Zombie Bible is longer than the first but just as potent. As usual, Litore shows an extensive knowledge of the time and society he's writing about, this time an early Christian congregation in ancient Rome. Remarkably, its not at all a preachy book, and he doesn't once mention by name the man who started the whole religion. In my opinion there's absolutely no reason for the reader to be Christian, or even pro Christianity, to enjoy this story about charity, freedom, bravery and sacrifice.
And of course, zombies! But Litore's take on them is something I've never encountered anywhere else. As expected his zombies wakes horror in me, but also deep pity. Zombies as tragic figures, who would have known? Also his living characters are fleshed out and believable, and no one is completely good or bad. Recommended as a educational, chilling, moving and thought provoking read.
