Mississippi Zombie


Book Description

It was the year 2000. Numerous reports of rabid animal attacks began to occur sporadically throughout the northern parts of United States. Many blamed these assaults on environmental changes that affected the neurology of the wildlife. And once bitten by these animals, humans found themselves transformed into mindless carnivorous beings akin to zombies. But these reports soon became more widespread, and the last and only place that had not been infected at that time was the great Mississippi region. Well that was then...this is now. The walking dead have begun to make their presence felt here and all manner of mutated creatures are crossing the Mississippi River every day. Life has become an ongoing struggle for survival. Collected here are FIVE of humanity’s apocalyptic nightmares! Written by: Bradley Golden, Alex Barranco, Joe Wight, Marcus H. Roberts, Peter Breau and John Breau, with illustrations done by Phil Williams, Antonio Acevedo, Rod Espinoza, Dan Gorman, Shaun Barbour, Harrison Wood, Oscar Pinto, with cover art by Spike Jarrell.

Zombie Notes


Book Description




Zombie History


Book Description

Fake history is not a harmless mistake of fact or interpretation. It is a mistake that conceals prejudice; a mistake that discriminates against certain kinds of people; a mistake held despite a preponderance of evidence; a mistake that harms us. Fake history is like the Zombies we see in mass media, for the fake fact, like the fictional Zombie, lives by turning real events and people into monstrous perversions of fact and interpretation. Its pervasiveness reveals that prejudice remains its chief appeal to those who believe it. Its effect is insidious, because we cannot or will not destroy those mischievous lies. Zombie history is almost impossible to kill. Some Zombie history was and is political, a genre of what Hannah Arendt called “organizational lying” about the past. Its makers designed the Zombie to create a basis in the false past for particular discriminatory policies. Other history Zombies are cultural. They encapsulate and empower prejudice and stereotyping. Still other popular history Zombies do not look disfigured, but like Zombies walk among us without our realizing how devastating their impact can be. Zombie History argues that, whatever their purpose, whatever the venue in which they appear, history Zombies undermine the very foundations of disinterested study of the past.

Undead Apocalyse


Book Description

Explores the intersection of the vampire and zombie with 21st Century dystopian and post-apocalyptic cinemaTwenty-first century film and television is overwhelmed with images of the undead. Vampires and zombies have often been seen as oppositional: one alluring, the other repellant; one seductive, the other infectious. With case studies of films like I Am Legend and 28 Days Later, as well as TV programmes like Angel and The Walking Dead, this book challenges these popular assumptions and reveals the increasing interconnection of undead genres. Exploring how the figure of the vampire has been infused with the language of science, disease and apocalypse, while the zombie text has increasingly been influenced by the trope of the areluctant vampire, Stacey Abbott shows how both archetypes are actually two sides of the same undead coin. When considered together they present a dystopian, sometimes apocalyptic, vision of twenty-first century existence.Key featuresRather than seeing them as separate or oppositional, this book explores the intersection and dialogue between the vampire and zombie across film and televisionMuch contemporary scholarship on the vampire focuses on Dark Romance, while this book explores the more horror-based end of the genreOffers a detailed discussion of the development of zombie televisionProvides a detailed examination of Richard Mathesons I Am Legend, including the novel, the script, the adaptations and the BBFCs response to Mathesons script
