Partially Devoured: How Night of the Living Dead Saved My Life and Changed the World
$26.10 online at Bookshop.org
Daniel Kraus first saw George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead when he was five. After watching it roughly three hundred times, he discovered how the film is tied to his childhood trauma and how its influence carried into adulthood. He wondered whether other admirers feel the same. Partially Devoured uses a frame-by-frame deep dive into the movie for a kaleidoscopic cultural investigation of its importance and an examination of Kraus's early life of rural isolation and local violence. Careening from film analysis to rabbit-hole tangents, the book moves from screaming laughter to the depths of grief, illustrating how a beloved genre film has woven itself into so many facets of our lives.
