An exploration of what the widespread contemporary interest in stories of zombies can tell us.

Contemporary culture is undergoing a zombie invasion, with the undead present in books, movies, TV shows, and more. Contributors tease out a horde of cultural resonance through a range of international media, including the South Korean horror film Train to Busan, English-language young adult novel The Boy on the Bridge, and the 1980s Italian Gates of Hell trilogy. This book offers a series of thought-provoking examinations of the meanings and metaphors of zombies in three distinct fields: gender and sexuality, the environment, and media.
