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.
