This book deals with legends and images of the apocalypse and
post-apocalypse in film and graphic arts, literature and lore from
early to modern times and from peoples and cultures around the
world. It reflects an increasingly popular leitmotif in literature
and visual arts of the 21st century: humanity's fear of extinction
and its quest for survival -- in revenant, supernatural, or living
human form. It is the logical continuation of a series of collected
essays examining the origins and evolution of myths and legends of
the supernatural in Western and non-Western tradition and popular
culture. The first two volumes of the series, The Universal
Vampire: Origins and Evolution of a Legend (Fairleigh Dickinson
University Press, 2013) and Images of the Modern Vampire: The Hip
and the Atavistic. (Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2013)
focused on the vampire legend. The third, The Supernatural
Revamped: From Timeworn Legends to Twenty-First-Century Chic
(2016), focused on a range of supernatural beings in literature,
film, and other forms of popular culture.
