This chapter examines cultural representations of zombies that imbue these figures with a voice and the potential for speech, troubling the most basic ways in which the zombie signifies in the popular imagination. Texts under discussion here include Edgar Allan Poe’s “Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar” (1845), George Romero’s Day of the Dead (1985), Tony Burgess’ Pontypool Changes Everything (1995), Daisy Johnson’s “Language” (2016), and T. Kingfisher’s What Moves the Dead (2022). The chapter pays particular attention to the subjectivities—human, nonhuman, more-than-human—that can be said to emerge in the zombie’s voice. It explores what is at stake when the human engages the zombie as a viable interlocutor, and it considers the ways in which the speaking zombie remakes language and humanity’s relationship to it. The chapter discusses the prospect that the speaking zombie is seen both to possess language and to be possessed by it, framing language and voice themselves as viral phenomena, as that by which all users of language (dead or otherwise) might be said to be infected.
