What is The Cinema of George A. Romero: Knight of the Living Dead, Second Edition (Directors' Cuts) about?

In this comprehensive portrait of horror's definitive director, Tony Williams ties George A. Romero's films to the development of literary naturalism and American culture, expanding the artist's creative footprint beyond his mastery of the "splatter movie" genre. Williams locates Romero's influences in the work of Emile Zola, the Entertainment Comics of the 1950s, and the novels of Stephen King, revealing the interdisciplinary depth of his seminal films __Night of the Living Dead__ (1968), __Creepshow__ (1982), __Monkey Shines__ (1988), and __The Dark Half__ (1992). For this second edition, Williams reads Romero's __Bruiser__ (2000) against his more recent __Land of the Dead__ (2005) and takes a fresh look at __Diary of the Dead__ (2007) and __Survival of the Dead__ (2009), two overlooked films that feature Romero's greatest achievements yet.
