Romancing the Zombie: Contributions to Zombie Studies

Editat de Ashley Szanter, Jessica K. Richards
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 oct 2017
The zombie--popular culture's undead darling--shows no signs of stopping. But as it develops to suit changing audience tastes, its characteristics transform. This collection of new essays examines the latest incarnation, the romantic zombie, a re-humanized monster we want to help, heal and connect with rather than destroy. The authors discuss our increasingly sympathetic view of the reanimated dead as more than physical bodies devoid of life and personality. Their essays cover a range of topics, including audience obsession with Apocalyptic love; the problem of a kinder, gentler undead; the millennial reinvention of the "sexy zombie"; and "uncanny valley romance."

Descriere

The zombie, popular culture's undead darling, shows no signs of stopping. But as it deliberately conquers pop culture, zombies also adapt to suit our needs and, perhaps more importantly, our desires. This work presents examinations of the romantic zombie, for better or worse, as the newest inductee to the Hall of Paranormal Lovers.
