In this episode of Zombie Book Club, Leah and Dan dissect the allure of rugged individualism within zombie narratives, questioning whether it's merely a trope or a reflection of deeper societal beliefs. They explore characters like Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead and Robert Neville from I Am Legend, illustrating how these figures, despite their solitary facades, ultimately depend on community for survival. We emphasize the critical role of collective action in overcoming both fictional apocalyptic scenarios and contemporary challenges.

The discussion extends to healthcare disparities and corporate malfeasance, highlighted by the controversial actions of UnitedHealthcare's late CEO, Brian Thompson. Through satire and critical analysis, Leah and Dan underscore the systemic inequalities perpetuated by corporate greed, advocating for a healthcare system that values human lives over profits. By examining both fictional and real-life examples, they advocate for the necessity of solidarity and mutual aid, concluding that true resilience—whether against zombies or societal issues—emerges from communal support and collaboration.

In this provocative episode, we welcome English erotica author Polly Morphous-Lee to discuss her daring novella, The Zombie Re-Erection: Only Sex Can Save Us. We delve into the concept of "humbies"—zombies driven by pleasure rather than hunger—and explore the satirical elements that critique contemporary political landscapes. Our conversation also touches on the portrayal of a bi-utopian society where sex work is a choice, prompting discussions on consent, societal norms, and the challenges of publishing erotica in today's media environment.
