“The zombie frenzy is growing, and it has cast its shuffling shadow on nature, mathematics, biology, and survival. So what can these shambling monsters teach us?” (Seifert 62) Before one can talk about zombies, one must first understand what a zombie is.

In recent years, there has been a huge increase of zombie related media in American pop-culture. Humanity has faced numerous crises and overcome them every time. The question has arisen that if a zombie epidemic were to occur would the United States have the ability to deal with it? The answer is yes. The United States has the ability to accept, adapt, and overcome an outbreak of such proportion. The U.S. has the manpower to rival the zombies’ growing numbers. The military and medical research staff
Love, Lust and Death are universal human experiences and perpetual literary themes. "The Loving Dead" blends them in a way that I have never seen before. Amelia Beamer's debut novel involves: Oakland California, twenty-something slackers, their angsts and relationships, and a zombie apocalypse. Its characters are realistically self-centered, its apocalypse realistically dealt with more through text messaging and comment threads than through the main stream media, and its ending is different than

When reading a novel or watching a movie, the audience often looks for a guiding light; a character that steps up to take the lead when all hope is lost. It is not uncommon for that beacon of hope to be a complete stereotype, all too often, the hero of the day is a strong, virile, ruggedly handsome man, but what if he was not? What if he was just an average man, or not even a man at all, but a woman or a child? When reading fiction, the imagination is allowed to run wild, painting vivid pictures
Rising dead who regain their ability to move and have an unquenchable appetite for human flesh have been central characters in successful movies, books and serialized TV shows. Some of the most successful include Dawn of the Dead and World War Z. In World War Z, a pseudo-memoire novel by Max Brooks, several interviews take place in a post-war setting.
