Notable quotes

“Goul or ghul, in Arabic, signifies any terrifying object which deprives people of the use of their senses; hence it became the appellative of that species of monster which was supposed to haunt forests, cemeteries, and other lonely places, and believed not only to tear in pieces the living, but to dig up and devour the dead.”
— William Thomas Beckford, in The History of the Caliph Vathek (1786), as translated by Samuel Henley
“The dead walk among us. Zombies, ghouls — no matter what their label — these somnambulists are the greatest threat to humanity, other than humanity itself.”
— Max Brooks, in The Zombie Survival Guide : Complete Protection from the Living Dead (2003), Introduction, p. xiii
