The Merchant of Rome
A Zombie Horror Short Story by James Bachman

Rome burns. The dead march. And a grain merchant holds the key to the Empire’s doom.

Marcus Brutus Calvus isn’t a hero. He’s a hustler, a dealmaker—a survivor. But when a cursed box arrives from Alexandria, he opens it, and unleashes an ancient Egyptian plague that reanimates the dead.

As the infection spreads through the Eternal City, the dead form ranks, march in legions, and slaughter with chilling precision. Senators vanish. Temples fall. The gods go silent.

Fast-paced, brutal, and dripping with dark irony, The Merchant of Rome is zombie horror as you’ve never seen it—ancient, cursed, and terrifyingly plausible. Perfect for fans of Army of Darkness, The Mummy, and gritty pulp horror.
