ZOMBIE
HOLOCAUST
How
the Living Dead Devoured Pop Culture
David
Flint
NEW
Zombie Holocaust is an
illustrated history of one of our strangest and most pervasive fictional
archetypes: the shambling, stalking living dead. From the mentally
enslaved Haitian cane-field workers described in early 20th-century
travelogues to the savagely violent, cannibalistic mobs of George A.
Romero’s Night of the Living Dead and beyond, the zombie has undergone an
eye-popping metamorphosis. As apocalyptic zombie narratives exert a
stronger and more lucrative hold on the public imagination than ever
before, this unique volume charts the zombie’s evolution from local
myth to global movement, and examines the cultural basis of its strange
endurance.
