Perhaps unfairly, I’ve never been able to see the zombie apocalypse scenario as anything other than a thinly disguised race war fable.
As Stephen King says, horror is a conservative genre at its core. Doesn’t mean it’s bad, doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of liberals writing horror, but the default mode for the genre boils down to “The Other disrupts the status quo — shall we restore order or will the Other reign?”
