Book excerpt: The "New Vampire" . . . The Complete Idiot's Guides® have explored the world of vampires, werewolves, the paranormal, and now the latest book in the "creepy" series is The Complete Idiot's Guide® to Zombies. This book brings the world of zombies chillingly to life—in a manner of speaking—covering everything readers need to know about them. The book includes: • The voodoo zombie, the viral zombie, and the whole zombie family. • What zombies and the delicious fear of them say about human psychology. • Zombies in American culture: in film, from the Romero classics to the Living Dead flicks that are so bad they're good, and in fiction, video games, comics, and more! • The zombie survival phenomenon—of course they're not real, but that doesn't stop people from having loads of fun pretending they are.
