As it is, that quote looks so out of place from everything around it.
This is easily explained. We have five main-text heading levels in GURPS books: A-HEAD (chapter heading), B-HEAD, C-HEAD, D-HEAD, and E-HEAD. Getting to Know Your Zombies is an A-HEAD, Zombie Archetypes is a B-HEAD under that, The Motivation is a C-HEAD under that, Mandmade Meddling is a D-HEAD under that, Black Magic is an E-HEAD under that, and I Only Eat . . . Flesh is a subheading under that. However, there's no such thing as an F-HEAD in our style, so I Only Eat . . . Flesh becomes what we call an "italic run-in heading."
