| Summary: | This paper studies the rhetorical strategies used in fiction to construct discursively the zombies in order to compare it with the prosopographic and ethopoeia constructions of migrants in the Spanish press. According to the rhetorical analysis of the selected corpus, determinant parallels between the fictional discourses that describe the "zombie hordes" and the periodical discourses that inform about the massive migrations of the last lustrum can be established. In conclusion, discursive similarities are revealed that in some cases there is a rhetorical framework shared by zombie fiction and by the periodic account of irregular migration that, in the end, could condition the construction and socio-discursive interpretation that is made of this criteria phenomena.
