Richard Morgan signing The Steel Remains

The Steel Remains: When a man you know to be of sound mind tells you his recently deceased mother has just tried to climb in his bedroom window and eat him, you have two options. You can smell his breath, take his pulse and check his pupils to see if he's ingested anything nasty, or you can believe him. Ringil Angeleyes grabs his broadsword and gets down to the business of dealing with the undead.
