DULCE ET DECORUM EST (Short Sharp Shocks!)

A young history student on a school trip finds a picture of his long dead doppelganger on the wall of a Belgian war museum. As his homesickness and social awkwardness kick in, his experience of the Somme comes to replicate the horror of those that fought there more than one hundred years earlier... Writing about Dulce Et Decoum Est, author Dan Howarth said: “The story is based on a school trip I took to Belgium when I was fourteen. We went round all the First World War sites, including Ypres. In one of the museums they had a massive picture of a Lad’s Brigade from the north of England. One of the people in the picture looked just like me. It was bizarre, and vaguely terrifying. That image always stuck with me and to some extent helped to inspire my love of history. I wanted to write a story about doubles and that event popped back into my mind, the story started from there.” NOW INCLUDING BONUS MATERIAL NOT AVAILABLE IN THE ORIGINAL EBOOK(cover by Adrian Baldwin)
