Even in a world filled with the living dead, sex exists. A stripper hell-bent on survival faces off against the living dead in a no-holds barred dance of death. A lone soldier, separated from his unit, finds that the ghosts of his past may very well be more dangerous than a hotel overrun with zombified furries. A boy faces his inner demons, ready to do anything to be accepted by his peers. A woman, captured by slavers, finds out there are worse horrors than the walking dead. From the first day of the undead apocalypse to points far in the future, this book explores the roles sex and sexuality play in determining survival. Sex . . . zombies. . .love. The line between them is not as clear as you might think. Let the infection begin.

Since the early 2000s, zombies have increasingly swarmed the landscape of popular culture, with ever more diverse representations of the undead being imagined. A growing number of zombie narratives have introduced sexual themes, endowing the living dead with their own sexual identity. The unpleasant idea of the sexual zombie is itself provocative, triggering questions about the nature of desire, sex, sexuality, and the politics of our sexual behaviors. However, the notion of zombie sex has been largely unaddressed in scholarship. This collection addresses that unexamined aspect of zombiedom, with essays engaging a variety of media texts, including graphic novels, films, television, pornography, literature, and internet meme culture. The essayists are scholars from a variety of disciplines, including history, theology, film studies, and gender and queer studies. Covering The Walking Dead, Warm Bodies, and Bruce LaBruce's zombie-porn movies, this work investigates the cultural, political and philosophical issues raised by undead sex and zombie sexuality.

Scotlyn Summerline was having a bad day even before the zombies attacked. Her diet was blown, her credit cards were all maxed out, and she was working the nightshift at a sleazy miniature golf course in Las Vegas. An army of the undead rampaging through the city is just the final proof that bad things happen to nice girls. Now Scotlyn is on the run with her irresponsible boss, trying to find a way out of town. Possibly, she's had a crush on Zeke since she first saw the incredibly gorgeous jerk. Possibly, he's spent his life until now squandering his potential on sci-fi movies and strippers. Also, possibly, he's a werewolf. But Zeke's still her best shot at survival.Ezekiel Macready is not a werewolf. He's a shape shifter. Zeke has always been different from the rest of his pack, living among the humans and studying ancient legends. Still, even he's shocked when zombies show up on his golf course. As walking corpses take over Vegas, Zeke's only thought is to protect Scotlyn. His beautiful, bossy secretary is the one person he can't live without. To keep Scotlyn safe from the zombies, Zeke knows he has to reconnect to his supernatural roots. Whether he likes it or not. Now, the two of them are stuck with Zeke's overprotective "brother," a wiseass vampire who likes nail polish, her megalomaniacal boyfriend/ kidnapper, and a shape shifter in a trucker hat. No matter what it takes, though, Zeke's determined to get Scotlyn to safety.... And convince her that he's exactly the kind of shape shifter a nice girl needs at the end of the world.

A brain-bending exploration of real-life zombies and mind controllers, and what they reveal to us about nature—and ourselves Zombieism isn’t just the stuff of movies and TV shows like The Walking Dead. It’s real, and it’s happening in the world around us, from wasps and worms to dogs and moose—and even humans. In Plight of the Living Dead, science journalist Matt Simon documents his journey through the bizarre evolutionary history of mind control. Along the way, he visits a lab where scientists infect ants with zombifying fungi, joins the search for kamikaze crickets in the hills of New Mexico, and travels to Israel to meet the wasp that stings cockroaches in the brain before leading them to their doom. Nothing Hollywood dreams up can match the brilliant, horrific zombies that natural selection has produced time and time again. Plight of the Living Dead is a surreal dive into a world that would be totally unbelievable if very smart scientists didn’t happen to be proving it’s real, and most troublingly—or maybe intriguingly—of all: how even we humans are affected. “Fantastic . . . You'll be thinking about this book long after you're done reading it.” —Kelly Weinersmith, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Soonish

Hulum is being played by The Meridian Storyteller’s lead actor, an elven heartthrob named Wranven Fargleam, who decided to research his part by visiting Hulum’s old abandoned home, known as The Tower of Watery Illusions. Weeks passed, and the members of The Meridian Storytellers became nervous that something might have happened to the actor, so they sought out the help of the emperor to send someone after him. The small squad dispatched to investigate the tower also did not return. Emperor Geo now fears something more nefarious may be afoot and wishes to hire you to rescue Wranven and find out why no one who visits the tower ever returns. This module requires the following prop: Low-temperature candles for body wax dripping

ISBN: 9780860912781

This is especially true of the science fiction film--a genre as old as cinema itself--which has rarely received the serious attention devoted to such genres as the western, the film noir and recently, under the aegis of feminist film theory, the so-called "woman's film." Alien Zone aims to bring science fiction cinema fully into the ambit of cultural theory in general and of film theory in particular. The essays in this book--some newly written, others gathered from scattered sources--look at the ways in which contemporary science fiction films draw on, rework, and transform established themes and conventions of the genre: the mise-en-scene of future worlds; the myth of masculine mastery of nature; power and authority and their relation to technology. This material is ordered and contextualized by the editor with a view to exploring how science fiction cinema has been approached critically and theoretically by commentators on the genre: as a mirror of society, as bearing or producing ideology; as caught up in an intertext of media productions, or as expressing unconscious desires. Contributors include Giuliana Bruno, Scott Bukatman, Thomas B. Byers, Barbara Creed, Anne Cranny-Francis, Daniel Dervin, H. Bruce Franklin, James H. Kavanagh, Douglas Kelner, Steve Neale, Judith Newton, Constance Penley, Hugh Ruppersberg, Michael Ryan, Vivian Sobchack, Michael Stern, J. P. Telotte, and Paul Virilio.
