| vampires werewolves and zombies: Monsters of the Market David McNally, 2011-07-12 Winner of the 2012 Isaac and Tamara Deutscher Memorial Prize. Monsters of the Market investigates the rise of capitalism through the prism of the body-panics it arouses. Drawing on folklore, literature and popular culture, the book links tales of monstrosity from early-modern England, including Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, to a spate of recent vampire- and zombie-fables from sub-Saharan Africa, and it connects these to Marx’s persistent use of monster-metaphors in his descriptions of capitalism. Reading across these tales of the grotesque, Monsters of the Market offers a novel account of the cultural and corporeal economy of a global market-system. The book thus makes original contributions to political economy, cultural theory, commodification-studies and ‘body-theory’. |

| vampires werewolves and zombies: Gothic Remixed Megen de Bruin-Molé, 2019-11-14 Longlisted for the 2022 International Gothic Association's Allan Lloyd Smith Prize The bestselling genre of Frankenfiction sees classic literature turned into commercial narratives invaded by zombies, vampires, werewolves, and other fantastical monsters. Too engaged with tradition for some and not traditional enough for others, these 'monster mashups' are often criticized as a sign of the artistic and moral degeneration of contemporary culture. These hybrid creations are the 'monsters' of our age, lurking at the limits of responsible consumption and acceptable appropriation. This book explores the boundaries and connections between contemporary remix and related modes, including adaptation, parody, the Gothic, Romanticism, and postmodernism. Taking a multimedia approach, case studies range from novels like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and The Extraordinary Adventures of the Athena Club series, to television programmes such as Penny Dreadful, to popular visual artworks like Kevin J. Weir's Flux Machine GIFs. Megen de Bruin-Molé uses these monstrous and liminal works to show how the thrill of transgression has been contained within safe and familiar formats, resulting in the mashups that dominate Western popular culture. |

| vampires werewolves and zombies: Death Warmed Over Kevin J. Anderson, 2012-08-28 From a New York Times bestseller, “a zombie sleuth prowls the mean streets as he works a half-dozen seriously weird cases” in this urban sci-fi fantasy(Kirkus Reviews). Single Dead Detective Seeks Clue Ever since the Big Uneasy unleashed vampires, werewolves, and other undead denizens on the world, it’s been hell being a detective--especially for zombie P. I. Dan Chambeaux. Taking on the creepiest of cases in the Unnatural Quarter with a human lawyer for a partner and a ghost for a girlfriend, Chambeaux redefines “dead on arrival.” But just because he was murdered doesn’t mean he’d leave his clients in the lurch. Besides, zombies are so good at lurching. Now he’s back from the dead and back in business--with a caseload that's downright unnatural. A resurrected mummy is suing the museum that put him on display. Two witches, victims of a curse gone terribly wrong, are seeking restitution. And he's got to figure out a very personal question--who killed him? For Dan Chambeaux, it's all in a day’s work . . . “A darkly funny, wonderfully original detective tale.” —Kelley Armstrong, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of A Twist of Fate). “Wickedly funny, deviously twisted and enormously satisfying. This is a big juicy bite of zombie goodness. Two decaying thumbs up!” —Jonathan Maberry, New York Times–bestselling author of Kagan the Damned “An unpredictable walk on the weird side. Prepare to be entertained.” —Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse True Blood series “Like Alexander McCall Smith's Mma Precious Ramotswe, [Anderson’s] sleuths really do settle most of their cases, and they provide a lot of laughs along the way.” –Kirkus Reviews |

| vampires werewolves and zombies: The Modern Literary Werewolf Brent A. Stypczynski, 2013-05-16 Throughout history, from at least as far back as the Epic of Gilgamesh, mankind has shown a fascination with physical transformation--especially that of humans into animals. Tales of such transformations appear in every culture across the course of history. They have been featured in the Western world in the work of such authors as Ovid, Petronius, Marie de France, Saint Augustine, Jack Williamson, Charles de Lint, Charaline Harris, Terry Pratchett, and J. K. Rowling. This book approaches werewolves as representations of a proposed shape-shifter archetype, examining, with reference to earlier sources, how and why the archetype has been employed in modern literature. Although the archetype is in a state of flux by its very definition, many common threads are linked throughout the literary landscape even as modern authors add, modify, and reinvent characteristics and meanings. This is especially true in the work of such authors examined in this book, many of whom have struck a chord with a wide range of readers and non-readers around the world. They seem to have tapped into something that affects their audiences on a subconscious level. |

Traveling by moonlight they rip criminals screaming for mercy from their hiding places, but none is ever given. The Irons are the most feared bounty hunting killers in the west, but that fear isn't based on them being the fastest with a pistol or rifle. It's because they're the Walking Dead! A lone, tortured soul tracks them with vengeance and salvation driving him to end the curse upon his family. Those who he rescues call him savior but those who look upon his twisted and scarred face call him monster.

| vampires werewolves and zombies: Cowboys & Zombies Lemay, 2025-01-19 If Old West folklore is to be believed, then the open range was crawling with revenants-that's old-timer slang for the undead. Revenants could include everything from vampires to mummies to zombies. More than a few re-animated corpses terrorized the West, the most notable of which was a decapitated horse rustler strapped to the back of a wild mustang. Known as El Muerto, the Headless Horseman of Texas would eventually be caught and buried. However, after the body was planted in the hard Texas earth, it rose again and has been seen riding across the plains ever since. In the pages ahead, you'll ask yourself: Was the Snarly-Yowl a West Virginia werewolf or a ghostly hellhound? How did a headless, blood-drinking corpse from Capitan, New Mexico, relate to a giant Aztec bat god hidden away in nearby Sierra Blanca? Was the walking dead seen stalking the Nueces River with a noose around its neck a zombie or a ghost? Did a tribe in the Ohio Valley worship werewolves, or were they werewolves themselves? Was the bewitched Hex Cat of Tumbling Run dispatched by a golden bullet or was it captured and put on display? Did Daniel Boone ever fight the Ozark Howler? Was a skull-stealing skinwalker just a witch in wolf's clothing, or a genuine werewolf? Did an Apache medicine man successfully resurrect Chief Diablo from the dead to fight the U.S. cavalry? Was Billy the Kid's corpse spirited away to a Las Vegas insane asylum by a mad scientist? And lastly, did an undead army of Native American warriors fend off gold-hungry prospectors from Shiprock Peak? |
