I like the idea of the zombie as having been evacuated of all real consciousness, in ravening pursuit of the living who do. A brilliant analogy. The idea of the zombie was the product of the political and economic system. Of course in the original Caribbean figure zombies are about what slavery does to you…

Another fine post from Barista, involving the origin of zombies, and stories, and stories about zombies. (The image actually comes from artist Travis Pitts, via Action Typist, who has more Moe Berg action too.)
