Reviews

Clear, coherent, and containing the best examples of academic critical integrity, it promises to be an indispensable work that will provide a very serious foundation for taking the work of George A. Romero into this new challenging millennium. --Tony Williams, author of The Cinema of George A. Romero and George A. Romero. Interviews The essays in this volume show us how Romero's prophetic legacy continues to reverberate through popular culture, helping us to think about the all too real horrors that we continue to face. --Steven Shaviro, author of The Cinematic Body
