In Theodore Roscoe's Remember Tomorrow, the Chateau de Feu, a crumbling relic in the Red Zone, harbors eerie legends from the Battle of the Somme. Strange tales circulate among the war-torn valley's natives-the buried soldiers, it is said, cannot rest, emerging to battle endlessly beneath their poppy-laden graves. Bill Shepherd, inheritor of the chateau, dismisses these whispers until he discovers a murdered peasant, seemingly strangled by German war gas. As Shepherd grapples with the haunting mysteries, a diverse group converges at the chateau during a storm. Among them, an Italian doctor, a Russian professor, and a French girl find themselves caught in a chilling revelation. When organ music echoes through the chateau, playing national anthems with no radio in sight, Shepherd and his companions are thrust into a supernatural realm, questioning whether they confront the living or the dead. Remember Tomorrow unfolds a captivating tapestry of suspense, blending wartime horror with spectral intrigue in the heart of the Red Zone.

An ancient château in Haiti is the scene of one of the most blood-curdling series of murders in the history of the island. Who was the murderer-man, beast or some supernatural being?An artist and his girlfriend attend her uncle's funeral on the island of Haiti, where they encounter the deep vein of Voodoo superstition. The legend of living souls trapped in dead bodies becomes a frightening reality as they witness a Zombie resurrection.The tale, by the well-traveled pulp fiction author Theodore Roscoe, captured his sense of awe and terror surrounding such a monster in the very place that would have given rise to it. His first-hand experience during his travels in Haiti taught him of such legends and he used them effectively in Murder on the Way!Thus, well before the Zombie came to represent today's flesh-eating cinematic monster of lore, Roscoe's story (published by the New York Dodge Publishing Company in 1935) unravels impossible shootings, inexplicable disappearances, and the stirrings of rebellion. These are the background elements for this most unforgettable weekend house-party in the heart of Zombie madness.
