Gothic Literature and Media Analysis Utopian, Dystopian, and Speculative Fiction Zoonotic diseases and public health

Abstract

The book club format has enabled expert and nonexpert exploration of infection and epidemiology as encountered in popular literature. This exploration reveals that fiction focusing on apocalyptic disease often uses the zombie as embodiment of infection, as well as an exemplar of current knowledge on emerging disease.
