Argues that the zombies and murderers in American film and literature embody the violent contradictions of capitalism. This book reveals that each creature has its own tale about how a free-wheeling market economy turns human beings into monstrosities. It tracks the monsters spawned by capitalism through pulp fiction, and Hollywood blockbusters.
