Gospel of the Living Dead
George Romero’s visions of Hell on Earth.
The most in-depth study of Romero’s Dead series imaginable, Gospel of the Living Dead dissects each film with the obsessive attention to detail of a religious scholar, which is fitting because the author actually is a religious scholar.

A very entertaining and enlightening book, if you’re an obsessive fan of the zombie genre this book will really make you think. Even with my attention to detail and uncountable re-watches of every movie mentioned in this book, there were many ideas I’d never noticed and symbolism I didn’t catch.
Movies studied, and “study” is truly the only word that works here, are Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead, the Dawn of the Dead Remake and 28 Days Later.
