Zombies haben es der Moderne angetan. In William Seabrooks Reisebericht The Magic Island (1929), im Kino George A. Romeros oder als Infizierte in Filmen und Serien jüngeren Datums konfrontieren sie mit der Aporie des Untodes. Die dadurch entstehenden Potenziale diskutiert Peter Schuck an Zusammenhängen, die mit Begriffen wie Haiti, Geste, Apokalypse, Infektion und Gemeinschaft verbunden sind. Der Fokus der Text- und Filmlektüren, etwa zu Passage of Darkness, Night of the Living Dead und 28 Days Later, liegt dabei auf den je unterschiedlichen medialen, diskursiven und politischen Bedingungen und Effekten des zombischen Untodes. Ihr Plädoyer gilt der Unlesbarkeit der Zombies und insofern einem politischen Begriff ihrer vielen untoten Körper.

"Walking Dead: A Crime Novel" von Peter Dickinson ist ein fesselnder Kriminalroman, der in der Karibik spielt und die dunklen Seiten der Wissenschaft und des menschlichen Verhaltens erkundet. Der Protagonist, David Foxe, ist ein Experte für Ratten, der in einem Laborexperiment gefangen ist, das ihn in eine Welt voller Intrigen und übernatürlicher Elemente führt. Nach einer Reihe von grausamen Tests wird Foxe auf eine Arbeitsreise in die Southward Islands geschickt, wo er sich mit einem tyrannischen Diktator und mysteriösen Kräften auseinandersetzen muss. Als ein Mord in seinem Labor entdeckt wird, wird er zum Hauptverdächtigen und sieht sich gezwungen, seine Unschuld zu beweisen, während er sich in einem gefährlichen Spiel von Macht und Manipulation bewegt. Die Geschichte entfaltet sich in einem spannenden Mix aus Wissenschaft, Okkultismus und dem Überlebenskampf in einer von Chaos und Wahnsinn geprägten Umgebung.
