A History of the Undead: Mummies, Vampires and Zombies

I was so excited to read this book, and dive a bit deeper into the popular culture that has arisen around mummies, vampires and zombies. There has been no shortage of books or films about the subjects, which opens so many more doors to other possibilities.

While I enjoyed the book overall, the first part seemed to really fly by - engaging, interesting, and full of some fabulous information. I did find that the book felt really slow and tedious on the last half - which in no way detracts from the beginning, but just made it harder to sit and finish out the final portion.

Overall, decently done and well rounded. A fun look into how this morphed into popular culture and what we have today!

Thank you to Pen and Sword and Edelweiss who granted me an e-copy for an unbiased review.
