Screening the Undead
Author: Leon Hunt
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0857723502
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
The vampire and the zombie, the two most popular incarnations of the undead, are brought together for a forensic critical investigation in Screening the Undead. Both have a long history in popular fiction, film, television, comics and games; the vampire also remains central to popular culture today, from literary 'paranormal romance' to cult TV and movie franchises - by turns romantic, tortured, grotesque, countercultural, a goth icon or lonely outsider. The zombie can shamble or, nowadays, sprint with alarming velocity, and even dance. It frequently lends itself to metaphor and can stand in for fascism or ecological disaster, but is perhaps most frequently a harbinger and instrument of the apocalypse. Leading writers on Horror and cult media consider the sexy vampire and the grotesque zombie, as well as hybrid figures who do not fit neatly into either category. These are examined across a range of contexts, from the Swedish vampire to the Afro-American Blacula, from the lesbian vampire to the gay zombie, from the Spanish Knights Templar riding skeletal horses to dancing Japanese zombies. Screening the Undead sheds new light on these two icons of terror - and desire - whose popular longevity has taken them 'Beyond Life'.

Pages : 228
Book Description
A warped little journey of sarcasm, economics, & profitable zombie hunting. While the eradication of Zombies may not be a realistic way to make a living (yet), certain sociological tidbits contained in the book may offer insight to the future of our economical status. Our world seems to be collapsing around us more each day, and while Zombies may be a metaphor for our impending doom, it really pays to be prepared for a worst case scenario. I tell my friends, "I'm not paranoid. I prepare for the worst, and pray for the best."

Book Description
In this steamy, suspenseful new novel from RITA Award–winning author Linnea Sinclair, a dangerously sexy space commander and an irresistibly earthy Florida police detective pair up to save the civilized galaxy . . . but can they save themselves from each other? Bahia Vista homicide detective Theo Petrakos thought he’d seen it all. Then a mummified corpse and a room full of futuristic hardware sends Guardian Force commander Jorie Mikkalah into his life. Before the night’s through, he’s become her unofficial partner—and official prisoner—in a race to save the earth. And that’s only the start of his troubles. Jorie’s mission is to stop a deadly infestation of biomechanical organisms from using Earth as its breeding ground. If she succeeds, she could save a world and win a captaincy. But she’ll need Theo’s help, even if their unlikely partnership does threaten to set off an intergalactic incident. Because if she fails, she’ll lose not just a planet and a promotion, but a man who’s become far more important to her than she cares to admit. From the Paperback edition.

Learn the American history they don’t teach in school—like colonial zombie massacres and undead Civil War heroes—in this horrifying and hilarious volume. “Americans have been taught that their nation is civilized and humane.

From colonization and revolution to World Wars and global hegemony, A Zombie’s History of the United States tells the powerful and moving stories of this country’s living-dead underclass, including: •The zombie massacre of European colonists at Plymouth Rock •The gruesome killing of a zombinated Meriwether Lewis by his fellow explorer William Clark •The doomed defense of the Alamo against hordes of the attacking undead •The heroic, platoon-saving charge into a hail of German fire by an undead Lt. Audie Murphy •The top-secret NASA missions that launched (and often lost) zombies into space •The anti-terrorist program to stop the weaponization of the zombie virus
