Romancing the Zombie - Essays on the Undead as Significant "Other (Paperback)

The zombie, popular culture's undead darling, shows no signs of
stopping. But as it deliberately conquers pop culture, zombies also
adapt to suit our needs and, perhaps more importantly, our desires.
This work presents examinations of the romantic zombie, for better
or worse, as the newest inductee to the Hall of Paranormal Lovers.
Why have we elevated the zombie monster to a creature we want to
help, heal, and love rather than destroy? This collection considers
how this transformation began and why, now, we cannot seem to
escape our zombie significant "Other." While these contributors
take myriad positions and theoretical approaches to the romantic
zombie monster, we assert the collection as a whole makes a clear
statement: while some may reject the zombie as romantic partner,
popular culture remains fascinated by considerations of the zombie
as more than a mere body, a physical being devoid of life and
personality. The zombie genre's inclusion of romance speaks to a
burgeoning desire to not only include, but love, these undead
"Others." This volume declares that our love affair with the
walking dead is only just beginning.
