Age of Industry Undead

Short-sighted industrialization lead to pollution, crowded cities, unemployment and exploitation of workers. In an era of New World slavery, it would be no leap to assume some head of industry would jump at the opportunity to use walking corpses for labor, despite the human cost. A classic tale of humans-as-monsters. Zombies of course, are far from the only type of undead.
The Age of Industry brought along with it the Gothic era of fiction, featuring all manner of haunts--be they haunted locations, or persons haunted by their own deeds. The titular Dracula is first written in 1897, spawning countless fiction/myth parallels.
There's zombies in the factories. There's ghosts in the townhomes. There's vampires in the castles. It's all very, very gothic.
