The zombie is cinema's most enduring horror icon, having terrified
audiences for decades. Book of the Dead charts the history of the
walking dead from the monster's origins in Haitian voodoo, through
its cinematic debut in 1932's White Zombie up to blockbuster World
War Z and beyond. Covering hundreds of movies from America, Europe,
Asia and even the Middle East, Jamie Russell examines zombies'
on-screen evolution from Caribbean bogeymen to flesh-eating corpses
and apocalyptic plague carriers. With an exhaustive filmography
covering the history of the zombie genre, Book of the Dead explains
our ongoing fascination with the living dead and how this shambolic
monster has become a stumbling, moaning metaphor for our age. Fully
revised and updated with over 300 new movies Includes an exclusive
interview with the 'Don of the Dead' George A. Romero The ultimate
resource for zombie fans everywhere
