Zombies Course

CA$165.00

Zombies are modern monsters. Although reanimated corpses and spectres appear in older stories, the zombie as we understand it now did not appear in fiction until the twentieth-century. In this course we will explore film, prose, and comic books to explain what zombie stories tell us about our own times.
