Twenty-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 I Am Legend and
28 Days Later, as well as TV programmes like Angel and The Walking
Dead, 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.
