the long version

*Zombie Holocaust* is an illustrated history of one of our strangest and most pervasive fictional archetypes: the shambling, stalking living dead. From the mentally enslaved Haitian cane field workers described in early twentieth century travelogues to the mindlessly violent, cannibalistic mobs of George A. Romero's *Night of the Living Dead* and that film's sequels, the zombie has undergone an eye-popping metamorphosis. With wry humour and unflinching attention to detail, this unique volume describes the transformation of the mythic zombie into a popular archetype and examines the cultural basis of its strange endurance.
