Opis

This text explores the recent transformation of zombie from cult genre to a figure that pervades western culture. Rutherford explores why this figure has gathered such momentum in the last decade and asks why the stock zombie scenarios of ghouls tearing bodies to pieces, of survivors bludgeoning their zombie loved ones, and of civilisation in ruins hold such fascination for contemporary audiences.
