“Gather ‘round
people and you shall hear
about a bunch of bullshit that is clear.
Of riders and horses and monsters too;
your parents lied - they can still get you.
Hardly anyone who was there is alive
to dispel the rumor, uncover the lies,
but there was more than one man who rode that day
and more than just Redcoats who got in their way.”
Along the way, Longfellow lost something in his translation it seems.
Everyone has heard of the French and Indian War and the American Revolution. However, they have not heard about them this way! The American founding fathers had a lot more to deal with at the end of the 18th century than tariffs and tea; avoiding hurled trees from Wendigos and gargoyles falling from the sky took a lot of patience. How is Samuel Prescott supposed to hunt the leader of the Rippers when the British keep infringing upon the colonists’ rights?

Excerpt:
Boone was sure he heard Revere scream as the zombie Forbes
charged at them. On his way, Forbes took a nice hearty bite out of an off duty
soldier who happened to be nearby. “Grullarrk,” the soldier said clearly before
falling to the ground.
Forbes Zombie was fast. A hell of a lot faster than Forbes
was in real life. How the heck did that
work out, Boone wondered. Oh well. He unslung his double-barreled reverse
musket, an invention of Revere; the guy
was good for something, thought Boone as he fired and turned his former
commanding officer’s head into a floating cloud of red mist. He then flipped
the release on his musket, spun the barrels so that the fired barrel faced back
and the loaded faced forward, and he vaporized the downed soldier’s head as
well just to be sure. He wasn’t about to let any zombies rise on his watch.
“Everybody to the wall,” Fraser ordered. It seemed that
Boone’s gunfire and the shrieking had alerted the remaining werewolves, who
were apparently done feasting on the French and wanted to upgrade to a little
English breakfast.
“Zombies and werewolves,” whined Revere. “I sure hope no
vampires show up.”
“Vampires?” Boone countered. “What are you, a child?
Vampires aren’t real.”
“They’re not?” asked Revere.
“No - vampires are just a myth. But dragons, dragons will
fuck your shit up,” said George Washington.
