Do Zombies Eat Ivy? The Undead Reach Academia

Zombie movies have had a great amount of appeal in the popular culture. They are also catching on in academia. There is now a zombie survival guide and a zombie version of Pride and Prejudice. Some are about serious topics but use the zombie title for appeal. In February, "Theories of International Politics and Zombies" will come out. Are the authors writing these books for serious purposes or just to capitalize on zombies' popularity? This link shows many books about zombies.

  1. "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" may be a humorous and lighthearted parody of a classic novel, and people may believe that movies like Zombieland are somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but anyone nowadays that doesn't have a personal zombie survival plan, frankly, is a fool. The Zombie Apocalypse is nothing to be laughed at
