Book excerpt: Zombies, vampires and ghosts feature prominently in nearly all forms of entertainment in the 21st century, including popular fiction, film, comics, television and computer games. But these creatures have been vital to the entertainment industry since the best-seller books of a century and half ago. Monsters don't just invade popular culture, they help sell popular culture.

The contributors unearth forgotten monsters and reconsider familiar ones, examining the audience taboos and fears they embody.
