unanimous voices mention television shows such as "The Walking Dead" to movies such as "Dawn of the Dead" The descriptive details of undead hoards of brain eating creatures and sexually alluring men in the darkness of the night, sucking the blood of innocent women are common place.

In chapter four while trying to create he says “I pursued nature to her hiding places…My limbs now tremble, and my eyes swim with the remembrance…In a solitary chamber, or rather cell…I kept my workshop of filthy creation: my eyeballs were starting from their sockets in attending to the details of my employment” (Shelley, 55).
