Wicked weeds

Intriguing spin on the zombie genre, spliced together from both different in-story sources and from different concepts - Haitian history and culture, zombie popculture and lore, basic existentialism and Buffy-like questions of what a soul is, and any conceptual idea that can hijack zombies as metaphors. Just lacks that one idea to bring it all together.

The living dead does not sate his hunger, but rather, transmits it. His actions are crude efforts aimed at converting the zombie from the exception to the norm. But it is the dehumanizing emptiness of the living dead, the absolute lack of access to emotions and the power of reason, his inability to understand just how pointless his labours are, that gives rise to terror, given that the living unwaveringly refuse to give up what the zombies stubbornly, but stupidly, are trying to gain.
