{"product_id":"undead-apocalypse-stacey-abbott-9780748694907","title":"Undead Apocalypse: Vampires and Zombies in the 21st Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwenty-first century film and television is overwhelmed with images of the undead. Vampires and zombies have often been seen as oppositional: one alluring, the other repellant; one seductive, the other infectious. With case studies of films like \u003cem\u003eI Am Legend\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e28 Days Later\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as TV programmes like \u003cem\u003eAngel\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Walking Dead\u003c\/em\u003e, this book challenges these popular assumptions and reveals the increasing interconnection of undead genres. Exploring how the figure of the vampire has been infused with the language of science, disease and apocalypse, while the zombie text has increasingly been influenced by the trope of the 'reluctant' vampire, Stacey Abbott shows how both archetypes are actually two sides of the same undead coin. When considered together they present a dystopian, sometimes apocalyptic, vision of twenty-first century existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stacey Abbott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0748694900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780748694907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Stacey Abbott","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120143134975,"sku":"9780748694907","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0312938f-3d03-41ce-9c63-4cc1504117fa.jpg?v=1687412779","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/undead-apocalypse-stacey-abbott-9780748694907","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
