As far as we know, dead
people do not come back to
life and start walking around,
looking for trouble. But
there are things that can take
over the bodies and brains of
innocent creatures, turning
them into senseless slaves.
Meet nature’s zombie
makers—including a
y-enslaving fungus,
a suicide worm, and
a cockroach-taming
wasp—and their victims.
