American Zombie Gothic: The Rise and Fall (and Rise) of the Walking Dead in Popular Culture

Can we, indeed, speak of a current zombie renaissance?



Yes. Yes we can!



A must for film buffs and zombie/horror movie fans everywhere, Bishop's book is a fascinating look at the history of zombie films and their effect on pop culture and cinema.



I don't particularly care for zombie films (notable exceptions: loved Shaun of the Dead and Fido, and 28 Days Later is one of my favorite movies ever), but Kyle "Dr. Walking Dead" Bishop is a friend of mine, so I thought I'd give his book a go. Wow. Couldn't stop reading! He covers everything from the history of voodoo and zombies in the real world up to the release of the book Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It was deeply interesting to see how zombie films have evolved from the incredibly racist 1930's films to the evil zombie heyday of the 1970's, and then the sympathetic zom-rom-coms of the 21st century.



The book is totally engrossing . . . and also kind of gross . . . (there are pictures) . . . but five stars and two thumbs way up!
