Dashes to my first review. I actually love your style; the story telling is superb and the form is enthralling. I especially liked how this chapter seemed built upon the very idea of classic stories, as the title suggested, but you really made it work. So far, this story seems intricate and well-thought, and I'm astonished it doesn't seem to have more attention than it does. I'm looking forward to being able to read this non-stop!

I hate cliffies but this is a great story keep it up arctic!

Oh my God. A zombie fic. AND a Nazi Germany fic! Wrapped into one! I'M SO EXCITED!

First, great backstory. It helped having information about the political strife and what not. The German names, terms, etc. made it more alive, too. I'm squirming in my seat with joy!

This sentence seemed a little awkward. " Refrigerators weren’t common in homes in 1930s Berlin because..." It sounds like the story is being talked about as if it's in the past. Well it is, but the point being that Brauer knows refigerators aren't common in the 1930s as opposed to the 1960s, but he wouldn't know. At least, I don't think your zombies will live to 1960. OH! SEQUEL, RIGHT THERE! Dead of Night! Red Russia goes DOWN! I don't remember if there were other sentences I could point out to you; I just remembered that one.

Instead of number headings, maybe use horizontal rulers or visible breaks like *. It's hard to treat each section as its own chapter, since it is chapter one.

But, most importantly, above all, I want to communicate my most UTTER RESPECT and LOVE for this story's concept! Like, holy COW why didn't I ever imagine it before?! I think I want to favourite it on the first chapter. In fact, I will. I'm so excited to read more!

well that must suck since the Tinten has now destroyed another power plant but i like this story so much! And congrates for Goebbels for reporting the truth about Hitler and Himmler. Update soon.

This is probably the best story i have read on this site. The story is very visual and descriptive and there are no grammer errors which is good. I like the part where Goebbels rebels against Hitler and then uses the spy cam to figure out that Hitler finds out what actually made the disease. Also the human testing in the prolouge was good maybe you could've had some thoughts Brauer was thinking when he was testing people but that is just my opinion. This is a really great story keep it up.

Ah, it's fantastic to see this story back on FictionPress! :D

So is this supposed to be a rewrite of the original Dead of Night? I never got to finish the previous one.

This was very well written! I like it a lot. :) There was great detail, and it kept fast paced all the way through, which is a major plus because I hate slow beginnings. I always liked zombie stories, and this one is probably in the top ten of my favorites. Can't wait to read more. :)

Hmm, I like this story, it is very well written and full of details. Excellent word choice. This strangely reminds me of the Friday the 13th series. I don't know why but it does.

The plot is interesting, but you have a few historical errors. Refridgerators were actually as common in Germany in the 30's as they were in the States. Alarm clocks weren't new either, but "new" could be from the character's perspective, so that's not as sticky.

Is his actual address that important? What does it do for the story? The reader?

The problem isn't your plot, but I think you could exicute it better. You tend to tell what's happening instead of showing them, almost like a biography. Try slowing down the pace and sohwing him kidnapping the boy. Show how he lured him away from the parents. Give the dialogue, what did he say? What did the boy say? Showing scenes like this will add suspense to your story and hook the reader much easer. In a few pages you're already on 8.

I was also quite confused when I went to the next chapter, as you talk about the 1911 and the m16. I'm not sure how many people know what a 1911 is, but you should say it's a handgun. Also, it makes sense that the "report" is getting old, I'm not sre wat that means though. The 1911 is namd after the year it was made. Also, is there a change in time here? The m16 wasn't introduced until Vietnam, yet the ppk came out long before then, so shouldn't be considered "new."

I'd say work on your showing of scenes instead of telling them, and do a little more research. If you're writing a story ina specific time, it's important to know when things were invented, when they were introduced. Otherwise, these errors will confuse some readers.
Hope this helpe, and you do have a good idea here.

Can't wait for the next chapter.

Very good.

Good introduction of the man I assume will be the main protagonist of this story. A hero of the Old School, which to me is a real complement.

Wow. This is probably the most gruesome thing I've ever come across on this website, but the weirdly original setting and especially the compelling style of writing has, so to speak, grabbed me and won't let go.

Disturbingly fascinating!

Good chapter.

Good chapter! Keep it up!
