It is hard not to strike the fancy of many Americans nowadays with visions of the end times. The last two iterations of zom-fic have an added element to them that might be part of their draw the conjunction of apocalyptic visions of America with the monster infestations that bring about said apocalypses. From the monster movies of the 50’s to the Sam Raimi classic of 1981, Evil Dead, to the Woody Harrelson film Zombieland to the recent bestseller Pride and Prejudice and Zombies or the latest runaway AMC TV show The Walking Dead there is just something about zombies that seems to resonate in our blood. Zombie fiction has been experiencing something of a, ahem, rebirth in the last few years… if it was ever really dead at all.
