Zombie Culture: Autopsies of the Living Deadby Shawn (edt) Mcintosh
Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:This collection of 12 very lively essays on the undead focuses
primarily on their film work but also gives aficionados a solid
background in their genesis and uses in folklore and literary
metaphor. They track how those perambulating in that very wide gray
area between life and death appeal to those believing their lives are
just as bad, albeit largely above ground, and why new versions of
zombies keep turning up with current concerns about society and
science. Contributors comment on Italian zombies in films,
apocalyptic zombies, gendered zombies, Romero's zombies according to
feminism, hybrid zombies, gaming zombies, online zombies, recreating
zombies, and the particulars of zombie sex, drugs and rock and roll.
The editors provide a very helpful filmography and the cover art is
hilarious.
