When – okay, fine, – the dead return to walk the earth, we as consumers of pop culture will only have ourselves to blame if we perish. The last decade-and-a-half of fixation on this specific end of days provides an encyclopaedic guide to survival, from hypotheses about what kills the dead (headshots, mostly, but also fire) to how to deal with the infighting among a group of survivors (headshots preferable). Like a training video for an imaginary disaster played on loop, zombie fiction has explored every eventuality and prepared us for the apocalypse.
