A history of Western culture's fascination with undead creatures in film and television.

Are you a fan of the undead? Watch lots of mummy, zombie and vampire movies and TV shows? Have you ever wondered if they could be "real?"

This book, A History of the Undead, unravels the truth behind these popular reanimated corpses.
