Born in Haitian folklore and inadvertently reinvented by director George A. Romero, the zombie is the most flexible metaphor in horror fiction, if not all of popular culture. It can represent a war, a virus, a natural disaster, terrorism, capitalism, climate change and much more. In fact, it's hard to tell a zombie story that isn't political in one way or another. Ian Dunt and Dorian Lynskey follow the trail of the walking dead from the Caribbean to Night of the Living Dead and the global outbreak of zombiemania in the 21st century. What does the zombie tell us about life, death and civilisation? How can it contain so many different meanings? And why do the living dead remain uniquely disturbing after all these years?

That presentation was made by Coya Paz under the title “Hauntings, Histories, & Campfire Tales: What Ghost Stories Tell Us”.Also, we want to acknowledge that the creatures from I Am Legend the novel are more like vampires and the Darkseekers from I am Legend the film are like a vampire and zombie hybrid.

There are some people who are so interesting, who have such fascinating lives and jobs, that I can't wait to invite them to the podcast. Then they turn around and scare the life out of me with their book choices. That's what happened with today's guest, Azhelle Wade. Azhelle designs toys for a living, and mentors others in the toy design process. She is sweet and funny and an utterly delightful guest. But the book she chose, "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston, is about a near-catastrophic outbreak of the Ebola virus. I don't read a lot of scary books, but I can honestly say this might be the scariest book ever written. Azhelle and I had a great laugh about my raging anxiety, and then the interview turned surprisingly candid and honest.

Max Brooks is an American actor and author. He is the son of comedy legend Mel Brooks and actress Anne Bancroft. Much of Brooks’s writing focuses on zombie stories. He is known as the godfather of the cultural phenomenon of the zombie genre. His first book, The Zombie Survival Guide (2003), published by Three Rivers Press, describes in depth the origin and lives of zombies. The book was followed up by The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks (2009), a graphic novel depicting several of the events detailed in the first book’s latter section. In 2006, Brooks followed with World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, which deals with the war between the human race and zombies. Paramount Pictures acquired the movie rights, and Brad Pitt’s production company, Plan B Entertainment, produced the film. The #1 bestselling author of World War Z returns with a horror tale that blurs the lines between human and beast, and asks, What are we capable of when we’re cut off from society? Max has a new book out called Devolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre

We examine the billion-dollar bite Apple took out of Samsung, discuss the infectious Internet virus that is “Call Me Maybe”, and review the zombie marketing war AMC has waged against Dish Network.

These days there is a lot to worry about: global warming, financial collapse, terrorism—you name it. For writer Max Brooks, the threat that trumps them all is zombies. He sounded a warning call about these walking dead in 2003 with The Zombie Survival Guide, followed three years later by World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, an immensely popular account of a massive zombie outbreak (the movie version, starring Brad Pitt, is due out in December 2012). Brooks joins Vox Tablet host Sara Ivry on the podcast to discuss the perils of dressing up like a zombie on Halloween, the particular horrors that a zombie infestation represents to Jews, and the origins of his own zombie fears—traced to one fateful night circa 1985 when Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft opted not to hire a babysitter.

The boys return with Mudoogul Mudslinger to explore more tips on surviving the Zombie War, courtesy of the University of Florida's Zombie Response Plan, Zombieland, and Left 4 Dead.  Also we discuss Drag Me To Hell's portrayal of gypsies, how investigate a werewolf sighting and the dubious merits of cannibalism. Happy Halloween, everybody...

Zombieland and other recent zombie stories like the Walking Dead comic are shifting the focus from surviving the initial zombie outbreak to living in a zombie world.  Surviving the first 48 hours of infection is necessary, but how do you make it past the first 100 days?  Living in the Zombie War requires a bigger set of the rules, which the boys are happy to provide.  Mudoogul Mudslinger joins in the Halloween fun to talk zombie survival tactics, the University of Florida's short-lived zombie response plan, and the new supernatural haunted house movie, Paranormal Activity.

Happy Christmas.   Thank you all for being a part of our adventure.Here is a short story published at "Tales of the Zombie War" back in 2008, read by the author.Music by Kevin MacLeod.
