I Love a Weird Story

Catiola notes that, however weird this story is, its point of view does not seem to be totally unique for its time and place. In mediaeval europe, there were lots of stories about what she calls the continuing vitality and power of the dead. The really funny thing about this history is that it seems like as soon as titmar tells one story about zombis, he gets so excited that he essentially derails his history of the outonia kings for several pages. And i love this. Like, i wish more recent political hagiographies were like this to day.
