We are currently experiencing a global explosion of zombie mania, with zombie representations and zombie-related material infiltrating the media and contemporary society in multiple and changing forms. This collection addresses the significant cultural phenomenon of the ‘zombie renaissance’ — the growing importance of zombie texts and zombie cultural practices in popular culture. Cultural critics have highlighted the recent upsurge of interest in the zombie motif not only in mainstream cinema but also in video games, literature, television drama, social media and even popular music. Moreover, the zombie phenomenon has extended far beyond the text to find expression in a rich variety of fan practices, most notably zombie walks, which frequently occur in towns and cities around the world, online fan forums and discussion groups, and ‘zero budget’ DIY filmmaking.
