Daniel Kraus first saw George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead when he was five years old. Through watching it approximately 300 times since that moment, Kraus discovered the many ways the film is tied to his childhood filled with traumas, and that its influence has carried into his adulthood. Are there other admirers of the film out there that can do the same?

A kaleidoscopic cinematic memoir, Partially Devoured uses a frame-by-frame deep dive into Night of the Living Dead to examine the film's importance to our history and culture, as well as explore how it served as a lighthouse beacon that carved through the author's life of rural isolation, childhood trauma, and local violence.

Careening from film analysis into rabbit-hole tangents, Partially Devoured will take readers from screaming laughter to the depths of grief, all while taking a beloved genre film and illustrating how its tentacles have woven themselves into so many facets of our lives.
