This project will show that while there are many zombies and many texts about zombies it is still often mistakenly viewed as little more than a sub-genre of Horror. However, its history and multiplicity warrants something far more ambitious in terms of cataloguing and defining its many forms, types and possible readings. Consequently, this Handbook proposes to feature elements of all the many and varied representations, narratives, and theories of the zombie, across cultures, histories and mediums to show that it is not just as multifaceted story-world, but is much more akin to a genre in its own right, or what we might term the Zombie Megatext.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp class=\"Default\" style=\"margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; mso-hyphenate: none;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"FR\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR;\"\u003eSimon Bacon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e is an Independent Scholar based in Poznań, Poland.
