Call for Anthology Contributors: Thinking Dead: What the Zombie Apocalypse Means"

UDC member Murali Balaji is looking for contributors for a new anthology titled, Thinking Dead: What the Zombie Apocalypse Means. The deadline for submitting a chapter synopsis is December 15.

Zombies are everywhere these days. Rather than run away, we're seemingly embracing them. The popularity of zombies has reached a pinnacle with shows such as the Walking Dead - the highest rated drama on basic cable - and movies such as the Resident Evil series, Dawn of the Dead and various incarnations of zombie flicks. What does our obsession with zombies say about us as a consumer society? This anthology seeks to interrogate our obsession with the undead from a critical lens, offering us a variety of perspectives on zombie culture, consumption and the notion of these apocalyptic scenarios as our eternal fear of the other and ourselves. 

Chapters must be 6,000-7,000 words in APA style. 

200 word chapter synopses sent to murali.balaji@temple.edu no later than Dec. 15 with full manuscripts delivered by Feb. 1.
