Notes:
The Verbivore mentions a TED Talk on Ghost stories that explored why we tell them. That presentation was made by Coya Paz under the title “Hauntings, Histories, & Campfire Tales: What Ghost Stories Tell Us”.
Also, we want to acknowledge that the creatures from I Am Legend the novel are more like vampires and the Darkseekers from I am Legend the film are like a vampire and zombie hybrid. We’re talking about them here in relation to the infection that’s the catalyst that causes them to change.
Here are a few articles and videos we referenced for this conversation:
- Monster Complex Article “Zombie Q&A—Jonathan Maberry: “Zombie Stories Are Not About Zombies”
- Youtube Video “How (Not) To Tell a Meaningful Zombie Story | Like Stories of Old”
