is that pre- or post-Romero?

though i've never studied zombies per se, i have a gnawing feeling that i must submit a chapter to this volume:

The editors of "An Interdisciplinary Collection of Essays on the Zombie" seek proposals for an interdisciplinary volume discussing the zombie from a variety of perspectives and within a range of contexts. Submissions from all disciplines are invited. In addition to theoretical essays on zombies, critical discussions of specific zombie films, novels, and graphic novels, including those both pre- and post-Romero, are welcome. Proposals should be between 200 and 300 words. Include brief author biographical details with submissions, including name and academic affiliation. Submit proposals either electronically or by regular mail to: Cory James Rushton, Dept. of English, St. Francis Xavier Univ., P.O. Box 5000, Antigonish, Nova Scotia, B2G 2W5, Canada, or Christopher M. Moreman, Dept. of Philosophy, California State University-East Bay, 25800 Carlos Bee Blvd., Hayward, CA 94542; . The deadline for proposals is Oct. 31.

hmm. i wonder whether they might accept a submission on rob zombie or my favorite breathy 60s pop band.
