Romantic yearnings for submission to immortal, evil aristocrats done not make those myths supreme. This writer seems to think that zombies, because they aren't as dashing as vampires, are a lesser myth. Zombies are the right myth for our time because they elucidate the banality of our destruction and our experience of the objective world. The world doesn't care if you're a romantic, it's still going to eat your brain. However, I do love the term, 'zombastic.'
