For nearly a century, big-screen tales of zombies have fascinated viewers, shambling their way from horror films to action thrillers and comedies. In recent years, there have even been news reports of real zombie-like behavior. But few know the truth behind Haitian folklore's biggest contribution to global imagination. These pages get to the bottom of the origins of the zombie legend and its changes and development over time. The possible sources of "zombification," including tropical drugs and poisons, are examined, and real stories of zombies are debunked. Real or not, zombies have invaded pop culture and there's no escape.

      Gr 5 Up-Comprised of four chapters, these useful introductions begin with definitions and descriptions and move through history, and cultural beliefs and practices in various parts of the world, scientific investigations, and contemporary practices and popularity in movies, television, books, and games. Readable text on white pages predominates, accompanied and occasionally interrupted by asides on related topics set in blue blocks. Selected photos in varied sizes are unfortunately caught into the binding in Abominable Snowman. Bibliographies range from meager to generous. No websites are listed; a note refers readers to the publisher's site to find recommendations. VERDICT Adequate additions to paranormal collections.
