Abstract

We are currently experiencing a global explosion of zombie mania, with zombie representations and zombie-related material infiltrating the media and contemporary society in multiple and changing forms. This highly innovative and original collection considers the significant cultural phenomenon of this ‘zombie renaissance’. Its chapters examine zombie culture across a range of media and practices including films, video games, music, social media, literature and fandom. It draws together a range of internationally acclaimed authors to produce new and critical perspectives on what is now a developing global phenomenon: the emergence of zombie culture and fan practices into the cultural mainstream.
