About this listen

By understanding the psychological forces that drive The Walking Dead's action, fans can better grasp Robert Kirkman's compelling fictional universe. Which characters suffer PTSD, which show the most hope for recovery, and which instead show post-traumatic growth? Has Rick Grimes lost his mind? What's it like for a kid like Carl growing up during the zombie apocalypse? Is the Governor a psychopath, a sociopath, or something even worse? What does that make Negan? What is the emotional cost of killing a walker or even another living person? What does Terror Management Theory tell us about what it means to fight constantly or survival? What is groupthink and how does it affect the decisions made by the people of Woodbury, Terminus, Alexandria, and Rick's "family"? How do they find hope?

In 19 chapters from a range of esteemed contributors, plus "Case Files" sidebars by renowned editor Travis Langley with a foreword by George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead co-creator John Russo, The Walking Dead Psychology: Psych of the Living Dead answers these and many other questions in a way sure to fascinate the millions of passionate graphic novel readers and TV viewers.

Thoroughly Enjoyable.

The subject matter covers some very dark topics and links them well to the main characters in The Walking Dead. Mental health and the effects and affects of the zombie apocalypse upon it are very intelligently discussed through the linkage and use of real topics in history etc. A thoroughly enjoyable read for any fan of the tv series. It allows one to see more deeply into the motivations and the reasonings of the characters. Everyone absolutely loves Daryl, and his section was extremely interesting. I have the physical copy of this book and it was worth reading along while listening to someone read it too. Will definitely listen to this again as I know there are things I always miss the first time round. The narration was excellent too! Very much prepare to have your brain engaged and learn something surprising about humanity. It’s not all doom, gloom and despondency in an apocalypse. Depending on your outlook! 🤗
