Reviews
The third collection edited by Brodman and Doan-after The Universal Vampire: Origins and Evolution of a Legend (2013) and Images of the Modern Vampire: The Hip and the Atavistic (CH, Aug'14, 51-6535)-this volume offers 17 brief essays written by international scholars in various disciplines and focused on a range of supernatural beings in literature, film, and other forms of popular culture. The first section, 'Ethereals and Terrestrials,' emphasizes the seemingly endless variety of supernatural creatures from the ancient world to the present; the second, 'The Undead and Still Dead,' focuses more on various versions of zombie narratives in popular culture. Highlights include treatments of culture-specific supernatural creatures in popular culture, including essays by Tommy Kuusela, Claudia Schaefer and Raul Rodriguez-Hernandez, and Masaya Shimokusu, writing on Swedish, Mexican, and Japanese culture, respectively....
