Zombies! An Illustrated History of the Undead

Zombies! An Illustrated History of the Undead Zombies! An Illustrated History of the Undead Zombies! An Illustrated History of the Undead

Jovanka Vuckovic

The zombie phenomenon is unique in Western
popular culture. From its origins in the voodoo beliefs of Haiti, it has become a key ingredient in today's cinema, popular literature and comics. With one simple premise – that the dead rise again, to feast on the living and turn them into zombies – the undead have inspired a huge variety of artists to explore ideas of survival, morality, fear, humour and horror.

ZOMBIES! is the first book to take a wide look at the whole phenomenon, from low-budget cult movies to long-running comics and best-selling humour novels. With stunning imagery, and an authoritative and entertaining text from one of the world's most distinguished experts on the genre, plus a foreword by master of horror, George A. Romero, this tome will appal and delight the reader in equal measure.
