Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, thanks to movies, video games, comic books, graphic novels, and television series, the world has a pretty distinct idea about what zombies are. Hundreds of years ago, the word "zombie" may have been handed down from jumbie, a West Indian term for ghost, or nzambi, meaning "spirit of the dead," in Congo, Africa. Brainless, reanimated corpses have long haunted the myths of many cultures around the world. The most shocking and fascinating zombie origins and lore are compiled in the unnerving pages of this high-interest volume, which also includes intriguing scientific roots of the zombie myth.
