From mentally enslaved cane field workers in Haiti, first described in early-20th-century travelogues, to the mindless hordes of soulless killers that regularly destroy our civilization onscreen and on the printed page, the zombie has undergone an eye-popping transformation. With wry humor and unflinching attention to detail, this colorful book celebrates these creatures in all their fetid glory. Author David Flint excavates early accounts of how voodoo was believed to reanimate the dead, unearths horror movie incarnations from Bela Lugosi&#8217;s <i>White Zombie</i> to George Romero&#8217;s cult classics to recent Eurotrash zombies, showcases graphic novel and comic book versions like EC&#8217;s putrefying nasties and Marvel&#8217;s <i>Tales of the Zombie</i>, and much more. The book is both a fun pop culture survey and a deeper study of what underlies the undiminished popularity of these terrifying, tragic figures in an anxious, post-9/11 world.</div> 2477902 28 5 2008 Zombie Holocaust total:8|5:1|4:2|3:3|2:1|1:1| 8 25 17 1 3 0 false false Sat Sep 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 11:16:55 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 11:25:15 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Sun Nov 29 11:40:55 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 29 11:40:55 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Nov 12 23:39:16 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 23:39:16 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 10 17:42:12 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 10 17:42:12 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 31 20:56:06 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 20:56:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 02 13:54:56 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 13:54:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 27 11:39:02 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 11:39:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 24 06:55:45 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 06:55:45 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Aug 01 13:28:06 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 13:28:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 21 06:00:10 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 06:00:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 03 10:31:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 10:31:00 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jun 23 23:39:44 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 09:22:02 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sat Jun 27 15:10:50 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 14:46:47 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 15:10:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 07 17:30:30 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 17:30:47 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 07 00:35:46 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 00:36:05 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Apr 24 14:27:33 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 14:07:21 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Apr 08 00:55:15 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 23:02:31 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2470705
