A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The zombies have taken over. These formerly marginal folklore figures are now central to New York Times bestsellers, box-office hits, computer games and comic books. Zombie Holocaust is an illustrated history of one of our strangest and most pervasive fictional archetypes: the shambling, stalking living dead. From the resurrected Haitian slave to pop culture's living-dead flesh eater, the zombie has undergone an eye-popping metamorphosis. With wry humour and unflinching attention to detail, this unique volume describes the transformation of the mythic zombie into a popular archetype and examines the cultural basis of its strange endurance.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Zombie Holocaust is an illustrated history of one of our strangest fictional archetypes: the shambling, stalking living dead. From mentally enslaved Haitian cane-field workers to the cannibalistic mobs of George A. Romero s Night of the Living Dead, the zombie has undergone an eye-popping metamorphosis. As apocalyptic narratives exert a stronger hold on the public imagination than ever before, this unique volume charts the zombie s evolution from local myth to global movement.
