| Zusammenfassung: | Twenty-first century film and television is overwhelmed with images of the undead. Vampires and zombies have often been seen as oppositional: one alluring, the other repellant; one seductive, the other infectious. With case studies of films like I Am Legend and 28 Days Later, as well as TV programmes like Angel and The Walking Dead, this book challenges these popular assumptions and reveals the increasing interconnection of undead genres. Exploring how the figure of the vampire has been infused with the language of science, disease and apocalypse, while the zombie text has increasingly been influenced by the trope of the 'reluctant' vampire, Stacey Abbott shows how both archetypes are actually two sides of the same undead coin. When considered together they present a dystopian, sometimes apocalyptic, vision of twenty-first century existence |

Twentv-first-centurv film and television is overwhelmed with
images of the undead. Vampires and zombies have often
been seen as oppositional: one alluring, the other repellant:
one seductive, the other infectious. With ease studies of films
like I Am Legend and 28 Daws Later, as well as television
o
programmes like Amt el and The Walking Dead, this book
challenges these popular assumptions and reveals the increasing
interconnection of undead genres. Exploring how the figure
of the vampire has been infused with the language of science,
disease and apocalypse, while the zombie text has increasingly
been influenced by the trope of the reluctant vampire. Stacey
Abbott shows how both archetypes are actually two sides of the
same undead coin. When considered together they present a
dystopian, sometimes apocalyptic, v ision of twenty-first-century
existence.
