The Zombie Book - Nick Redfern - Bog

Two
experts on the unexplained and paranormal team up to bring
you the definitive guide to zombies!
The
apocalypse of the rapacious, infectious living dead is more probable
than ever?at least, if movies, books, and television are to be
believed. But long before exotic viruses, biological warfare, and
sinister military experiments brought the dead back to life in our
cinemas and on our television screens, there were the dark spells and
incantations of the ancient Egyptians, the Sumerians, and the
Babylonians. Blending the historical with the modern, the
biographical with the literary, the plants and animals with bacteria
and viruses, the mythological with the horrifying true tales, The
Zombie Book: The Encyclopedia of the Living Dead is a
comprehensive resource for understanding, combating, and avoiding all
things zombie.
