In fourteen essays by scholars hailing from multiple disciplines and devoted to diverse topics — psychology, demography, rural and urban space, media, health care, physiology, performance, race, politics, postfeminism, linguistics, the humanities, philosophy, and even mixology — plus a well-developed introduction by the editors, Edward P. Comentale and Aaron Jaffe conduct the latest collection of essays in the field of what some affectionately term “zombie studies.” The collection makes a novel contribution in its synchronic snapshot of the appearance of zombies in a range of fields at this historical moment.
