A fascinating read for anyone from general readers to hardcore fans and scholars, this encyclopedia covers virtually every aspect of the zombie as cultural phenomenon, including film, literature, folklore, music, video games, and events. The proliferation of zombie-related fiction, film, games, events, and other media in the last decade would seem to indicate that zombies are "the new vampires" in popular culture. The editors and contributors of Encyclopedia of the Zombie: The Walking Dead in Popular Culture and Myth took on the prodigious task of covering all aspects of the phenomenon, from the less-known historical and cultural origins of the zombie myth to the significant works of film and literature as well as video games in the modern day that feature the insatiable, relentless zombie character. The encyclopedia examines a wide range of significant topics pertaining to zombies, such as zombies in the pulp magazines; the creation of the figure of the zuvembie to subvert decades of censorship by the Comics Code of Authority; Humans vs. Zombies, a popular zombie-themed game played on college campuses across the country; and annual Halloween zombie walks. Organized alphabetically to facilitate use of the encyclopedia as a research tool, it also includes entries on important scholarly works in the expanding field of zombie studies.

Mike Amerson, Co-Founder and President of WET Productions, Inc., learned the hard lesson that many developers face today: just because you built it, doesn't mean they will come. His game "My Virtual Girlfriend" went nine months with only modest sales until late in December of 2010, when he gathered what he'd learned about app discoverability and used it to propel the game to the Top 100 list for its category. Furthermore, the game has only gained momentum, sitting in the Top 25 for over a year. Though Mike overcame the challenges of app development, he knows exactly what it's like for a developer to spend time and money on a project that falls flat. Today, he shares his knowledge with other struggling developers, encouraging them to follow their dream to venture out and find success in the iOS space.
