{"product_id":"zombie-holocaust-david-flint-9780859653978","title":"Zombie Holocaust: How the Living Dead Devoured Pop Culture","description":"\u003ci\u003eZombie Holocaust\u003c\/i\u003e is a lively history of one of the most enduring fictional archetypes: the shambling, stalking, lethal living dead. From mentally enslaved cane field workers in Haiti, first described in early-20th-century travelogues, to the mindless hordes of soulless killers that regularly destroy our civilization onscreen and on the printed page, the zombie has undergone an eye-popping transformation. With wry humor and unflinching attention to detail, this colorful book celebrates these creatures in all their fetid glory. Author David Flint excavates early accounts of how voodoo was believed to reanimate the dead, unearths horror movie incarnations from Bela Lugosi's \u003ci\u003eWhite Zombie\u003c\/i\u003e to George Romero's cult classics to recent Eurotrash zombies, showcases graphic novel and comic book versions like EC's putrefying nasties and Marvel's \u003ci\u003eTales of the Zombie\u003c\/i\u003e, and much more. The book is both a fun pop culture survey and a deeper study of what underlies the undiminished popularity of these terrifying, tragic figures in an anxious, post-9\/11 world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Flint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0859653978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780859653978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Plexus Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.60w x 0.70d","brand":"David Flint","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44449945485567,"sku":"9780859653978","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9bc88227-3f00-43d9-87c0-8dea00b26783.jpg?v=1698501894","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/zombie-holocaust-david-flint-9780859653978","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
