Book excerpt: Zombies have arguably eclipsed vampires as one of the most popular subjects for modern horror. George Romero and his many imitators, as well as literary works such as The Walking Dead and The Passage, have ensured that zombies hold pride of place within current speculative fiction. However, zombie fiction has a long and fascinating history, dating back many decades.

Stanley Moss and G. W. Hunter.
