Description
Two
experts on the unexplained and paranormal team up to bring
you the definitive guide to zombies! The
apocalypse of the rapacious, infectious living dead is more probable
than ever--at least, if movies, books, and television are to be
believed. But long before exotic viruses, biological warfare, and
sinister military experiments brought the dead back to life in our
cinemas and on our television screens, there were the dark spells and
incantations of the ancient Egyptians, the Sumerians, and the
Babylonians. Blending the historical with the modern, the
biographical with the literary, the plants and animals with bacteria
and viruses, the mythological with the horrifying true tales, The
Zombie Book: The Encyclopedia of the Living Dead is a
comprehensive resource for understanding, combating, and avoiding all
things zombie. More
than 250 entries cover everything about the ignominious role in
folklore and mythology to today's pop culture, including ...
-
Pride
and Prejudice and Zombies
-
Mad
Cow Disease
-
The
Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918
-
The
Centers for Disease Control and FEMA's Zombie Preparedness plans
-
The
MacArthur Causeway Face-eating Zombie
-
Nazi
Experiments to Resurrect the Dead
-
Night
of the Living Dead
-
and
much, much more.
Blending historical review and a lot of
pop-culture fun with chilling tales of ravenous end-of-times
horrors, The Zombie Book is perfect for
browsing or for a thorough reading by fans of the macabre. An
extensive bibliography and index make this the perfect start to
anyone's quest for preparing for a zombie cataclysm.
