This book traces how The Walking Dead franchise narratively,
visually, and rhetorically represents transgressions against
heteronormativity and the nuclear family. The introduction argues
that The Walking Dead reflects cultural anxiety over threats to the
family. Chapter 1 examines the destructive competition created by
heteronormativity, such as the conflict between Rick and Shane.
Chapter 2 focuses on the actual or attempted participation of
characters such as Carol and Negan in queer relationships. Chapter
3 interprets zombies as queer antagonists to heteronormativity,
while Chapter 4 explores the incorporation of zombies into the
lives of characters such as the Governor and the Whisperers. The
conclusion asserts that The Walking Dead presents both queer
alternatives to and damaging contradictions within the traditional
heterosexual family model, helping to question this model and to
consider the struggle of queer American families. Overall, this
study holds special interest for students and scholars of
queerness, zombies, and the family.
