When I asked Rea if there was anything in
particular she wanted me to write about for this guest blog, she offered the
topic of whether zombies are the new vampires.
Since I’ve written extensively in both subgenres, I jumped at the
chance. However, I don’t think you can
say that zombies are the “new” vampires.
That implies that the gut-munching living dead are replacing the
blood-sucking undead as the dominant monster in the culture, which is far from
the truth. They’re distinctly separate
subgenres with widely different fan bases.
