Undead is a collective name for beings that are deceased and yet behave as if alive, either with its own soul or with the soul of a malevolent creature (such as a demon). Undead may be incorporeal, such as ghosts, or corporeal, such as vampires and zombies. Undead are featured in the legends and mythologies of most cultures. In some cases, the undead, especially skeletons and zombies, are under the control of a necromancer. In other cases, such as zombies as depicted in film, the undead existence is passed on like a curse or disease.
Ambrose Bierce's
The Death of Halpin Frayser, could not be properly considered zombie fiction, but the supernatural tales of Bierce and Poe would prove influential on later writers such as H. P. Lovecraft. Tonight, more Tales of the "less than passed."
