Description:This book deals with legends and images of the apocalypse and post-apocalypse in film and graphic arts, literature and lore from early to modern times and from peoples and cultures around the world. It reflects an increasingly popular leitmotif in literature and visual arts of the 21st humanity’s fear of extinction and its quest for survival -- in revenant, supernatural, or living human form.

The first two volumes of the series, The Universal Origins and Evolution of a Legend (Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2013) and Images of the Modern The Hip and the Atavistic. (Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2013) focused on the vampire legend. The third, The Supernatural From Timeworn Legends to Twenty-First-Century Chic (2016), focused on a range of supernatural beings in literature, film, and other forms of popular culture.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
