Book excerpt: Influenza swept the planet. In months, two billion were dead. In the decimated United States, President Andrew Thomas signed an Executive Order to spray the national food and water supply with a flu vaccine. It spread and mutated up the food chain. The infected craved the flesh of the living and the undead walked the earth. Overnight, Emily Gray's privileged world was ripped away. From pampered trophy wife to sharpshooter zombie hunter. From an elite address in San Francisco to the outskirts of an East Bay farm town. You never know what event will define you. The apocalypse showed Emily what she was truly capable of doing to survive. Seth Ripley was a truck driver with simple dreams. Pay off his mortgage, not live paycheck to paycheck, and take care of his mom. The end of the world as he knew it stole all that away. His home and livelihood are gone and the only dream he has left is for his mother to awake from her diabetic coma brought on from the trials and tribulations of getting out of Oakland ahead of the horde of undead. When surviving day to day is all you ask of life, love seems an unrealistic dream. Who would ever think that something as terrible as the zombie apocalypse could bring Seth and Emily something as wonderful as their other half, their soul mate, their true love? Now all they have to do is survive death, destruction, and a madman who wants to control what is left of the world they knew.

Her diet was blown, her credit cards were all maxed out, and she was working the nightshift at a sleazy miniature golf course in Las Vegas. An army of the undead rampaging through the city is just the final proof that bad things happen to nice girls. Now Scotlyn is on the run with her irresponsible boss, trying to find a way out of town. Possibly, she's had a crush on Zeke since she first saw the incredibly gorgeous jerk. Possibly, he's spent his life until now squandering his potential on sci-fi movies and strippers. Also, possibly, he's a werewolf. But Zeke's still her best shot at survival.Ezekiel Macready is not a werewolf. He's a shape shifter. Zeke has always been different from the rest of his pack, living among the humans and studying ancient legends. Still, even he's shocked when zombies show up on his golf course. As walking corpses take over Vegas, Zeke's only thought is to protect Scotlyn. His beautiful, bossy secretary is the one person he can't live without. To keep Scotlyn safe from the zombies, Zeke knows he has to reconnect to his supernatural roots. Whether he likes it or not. Now, the two of them are stuck with Zeke's overprotective "brother," a wiseass vampire who likes nail polish, her megalomaniacal boyfriend/ kidnapper, and a shape shifter in a trucker hat. No matter what it takes, though, Zeke's determined to get Scotlyn to safety.... And convince her that he's exactly the kind of shape shifter a nice girl needs at the end of the world.

All Leo Wilson wants is an okay for his plans to install glass fireworks at Fort Vancouver on the Fourth of July. With thousands of people there to see his work, it could be his big career break. If the crabby bureaucrat will get him the permits he needs. When Leo confronts the cause of his trouble in person, he’s surprised to find a beautiful young woman.

And find out why he’s with her ex. If she makes the right decisions, she and Leo will privately create fireworks that rival the pyrotechnics that light up the sky on July Fourth.

He’s sweet, he’s funny, they have compatible plans for the zombie apocalypse. But Sarah can’t let him in. It’s not just his three drooly, sloppy dogs—with him in her life, the pristine future she’s working for would be shredded before you can say Down, boy!

Download or read book The Undead and Theology written by Kim Paffenroth and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-09-21 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The academy and pop culture alike recognize the great symbolic and teaching value of the undead, whether vampires, zombies, or other undead or living-dead creatures. This has been explored variously from critiques of consumerism and racism, through explorations of gender and sexuality, to consideration of the breakdown of the nuclear family. Most academic examinations of the undead have been undertaken from the perspectives of philosophy and political theory, but another important avenue of exploration comes through theology. Through the vampire, the zombie, the Golem, and Cenobites, contributors address a variety of theological issues by way of critical reflection on the divine and the sacred in popular culture through film, television, graphic novels, and literature.

Download or read book Cowboy Hamlets and zombie Romeos written by Kinga Földváry and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents a systematic method of interpreting Shakespeare film adaptations based on their cinematic genres. Its approach is both scholarly and reader-friendly, and its subject is fundamentally interdisciplinary, combining the findings of Shakespeare scholarship with film and media studies, particularly genre theory. The book is organised into six large chapters, discussing films that form broad generic groups. Part I looks at three genres from the classical Hollywood era (western, melodrama and gangster-noir), while Part II deals with three contemporary blockbuster genres (teen film, undead horror and biopic). Beside a few better-known examples of mainstream cinema, the volume also highlights the Shakespearean elements in several nearly forgotten films, bringing them back to critical attention.
