Description

Zombies continue to morbidly fascinate; through books; film and also TV. Major current film releases such as World War Z and television series such as The Walking Dead and In The Flesh are evidence of the publics insatiable hunger to watch; from the comfort of their sofas; these lurching; shuffling; horrifying flesh eaters. This exciting new book wittily takes the reader through the rise of the zombie; from its vampire-like beginnings in early literature; through the birth of Romeros walking dead in Night of the Living Dead to its comical portrayal in zomcoms (think Shaun of the Dead). As you read; enjoy an eye-grabbing selection of artworks portraying the modern zombie in all its post-apocalyptic doom and dread.
