{"product_id":"apocalyptic-chic-barbara-brodman-9781683930501","title":"Apocalyptic Chic: Visions of the Apocalypse and Post-Apocalypse in Literature and Visual Arts","description":"This book deals with legends and images of the apocalypse and post-apocalypse in film and graphic arts, literature and lore from early to modern times and from peoples and cultures around the world. It reflects an increasingly popular leitmotif in literature and visual arts of the 21st century: humanity's fear of extinction and its quest for survival -- in revenant, supernatural, or living human form. It is the logical continuation of a series of collected essays examining the origins and evolution of myths and legends of the supernatural in Western and non-Western tradition and popular culture. The first two volumes of the series, The Universal Vampire: Origins and Evolution of a Legend (Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2013) and Images of the Modern Vampire: The Hip and the Atavistic. (Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2013) focused on the vampire legend. The third, The Supernatural Revamped: From Timeworn Legends to Twenty-First-Century Chic (2016), focused on a range of supernatural beings in literature, film, and other forms of popular culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Brodman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1683930509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683930501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fairleigh Dickinson University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Barbara Brodman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44450194587903,"sku":"9781683930501","price":117.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31ea2065-8600-4429-9466-ba0b806944ad.jpg?v=1698503340","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/apocalyptic-chic-barbara-brodman-9781683930501","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
