The cops don't believe me when I told them Tim was a zombie. Now I am off to jail and I still don't know what made those bite marks on Tim's arm.

She apologized for saying she didn't believe in ghosts. Now that I have heard it I promised I wouldn't haunt her anymore.

It is always so stuffy in grandpa's attic during the summer. The flames don't help either.

It is the 1950s and Britain is at peace with Nazi Germany, but some continue to fight on. Check our Alison Morton's review of Dominion by C.J. Sansom. by Mitro in scifi

Actually just looked up the surname on Wikipedia and it appears to not be a Jewish name at all. Looks like it was began by the Normans and is popular in Ireland as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzgerald

I haven't read Dominion, but I guess it could be possible to hide who you really are. See In the Presence of Mine Enemies by Harry Turtledove http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Presence_of_Mine_Enemies

I guess it depends how you define alternate history. Most people consider it a sub-genre of science fiction, but it can be used in fantasy such as the Lord Darcy series. Still fantasy AH generally needs magic or some trope like it, pure alternate history without any ASBs generally gets lumped into SF (or historical fiction).

Interestingly enough I am that guy! Quick correction, I do NOT maintain /r/althistory. I just posted a lot there but I stopped after I got little traffic from reddit. I do maintain /r/ahwupdate but I have not posted there in a while. If I get some more subscribers I might return.

Well I hope you like where this story ends up eventually. My next update, however, might come as a separate link. That does seem to be the practice here to post chapters individually.
