Zombie Holocaust is an illustrated history of one of our strangest fictional archetypes: the shambling, stalking living dead. From mentally enslaved Haitian cane-field workers to the cannibalistic mobs of George A. Romero s Night of the Living Dead, the zombie has undergone an eye-popping metamorphosis. As apocalyptic narratives exert a stronger hold on the public imagination than ever before, this unique volume charts the zombie s evolution from local myth to global movement.
