Zombies in Popular Culuture

Zombies, the Living Dead.

My research question is why essentially why zombies. If you take a step back and look at the media, you can see that zombies are everywhere. If you are planning to do a topic on zombies, my best advice to you is start early. Zombies is a big topic so you should really narrow down your focus. If not you could be stuck with reading hundreds of articles. Make sure when doing research on the school database that you choose your "keywords" and "specific databases" carefully.

All of the sources that I found for my paper were from the CSULA library database. Some sources that I found most useful are:

"World War Z and the End of Religion As We Know It" by Baldwin, Gayle R.
"The Return of the Paranoid Style" by Ross Douthat
"Zombies are the New Vampires" by Lev Grossman
"Might of the Living Dead" by Stefan Dziemianowicz

Books: These can be useful but there are a lot of zombie books published.

"World War Z" by Max Brooks
"The Zombie Survival Guide" by Max Brooks


These are just a few sources that I used but there is still so much out there. Some of these are sources are pretty long but if you enjoy zombies as much as I do then these wont be as bad.

Tip: If you are going to use the same exact articles, make sure you choose "all the databases" when you are using "Academic Search Premier" in the CSULA library database. You may not find the articles if you are not looking in the place.
