• Unlike previous works, Theorising the Contemporary Zombie presents an interdisciplinary understanding of 'zombiism'. A range of book-length studies, such as Zombies in the Academy (2011), and... But if a Zombie Apocalypse Did Occur (2015) for example, have contributed to a greater understanding of the zombie figure but have confined their interest to a single event (a hypothetical zombie apocalypse) or a single field (education studies).
• Theorizing Zombiism draws from an international range of contributors spanning several disciplines, all of whom are interested in the zombie as an interdisciplinary framework. This broad church of interests from different countries suggests that the book will appeal to a diverse market.
• This collection goes one step further than other works and builds a broader zombie framework for future scholars.
• This volume covers a broad scope, providing new insights into zombies and gender, sexuality, health and fitness, the economy, comic books, Transhumanism, and the environment
