DescriptionBob Curran - Zombies  Do zombies really exist? Where we might realistically consider going on a serious ghost-hunt, do we need a field guide to find the living dead, animated corpses, or zombies who eat human flesh? The title of the book is perhaps a little deceptive, in that the text of the book is more of an examination of the place that the walking dead have in culture, media, myth and comparative religion, both ancient, and modern. But this is not a dry academic paper, either. The book is levelled at a general readership, and is full of the kind of illustrations, by Ian Daniels, that one might associate with a handbook on 'Dungeons and Dragons'. Bob Curran starts the book with a tale or two from his childhood in rural Ireland. Local superstitions about the living dead pervaded the culture he was brought up in, and the book he writes seems to look at the question of whether there is any real substance to such beliefs. Naturally, the belief in the living dead goes back as far as human culture itself, and is widespread throughout the world, as the author demonstrates thoroughly..
