...But If a Zombie Apocalypse Did Occur cover

Part pop culture trope, part hypothetical cataclysm, the zombie apocalypse is rooted in modern literature, film and mythology. This collection of new essays considers the implications of this scientifically impossible (but perhaps imminent) event, examining real-world responses to pandemic contagion and civic chaos, as well as those from Hollywood and popular culture. The contributors discuss the zombie apocalypse as a metaphor for actual catastrophes and estimate the probabilities of human survival and behavior during an undead invasion.

“an intelligent, thought-provoking and highly readable book”—Destructive Music; “the zombie apocalypse is studied as a vehicle to discuss the probability of life, behavior, and reaction during an undead invasion or other apocalyptic event”—ProtoView.
