Zombies (Behind the Legend)

by Erin Peabody Author and Jomike Tejido Illustrator

From the Behind the Legend series, for readers ages 8 to 10, this installment takes a look at the undead! It takes a look at this topic through a scientific lens, debating and analyzing the alleged sightings across history, but also analyzing through literature and accounts of people turning into the living dead. This looks at instances documented in different cultures — notably Haiti, the Americas, Mesopotamia, as well as more contemporary media depictions of zombies. More than just telling the reader what’s what, the book looks into the more recent interpretations of the pop culture and metaphysical phenomena. With illustrations and interesting sidebars, this book will draw interest from the beginner reader and engage them in the matter of zombies!
