The ZRC was alerted to this upcoming book on Twitter this morning and I have to say, it’s both an ingenious and evil concept.

First, the Tweet that started it all:

We just got the link for our book on Amazon: “Dead Inside: Do Not Enter” http://amzn.to/l5Ok2C coming out 9/21 Preorder Now!!! #MFZAR

The book is entitled ‘Dead Inside: Do Not Enter’ and has a striking concept:

Product Description
Post Secret meets World War Z in this chilling vision of the fallout following a global zombie pandemic. A gradual mutation of a virulent strain of super flu gives rise to millions of the undead, who quickly overwhelm treatment facilities and swarm cities around the world, leaving survivors on their own against a legion of the infected. This chilling story is told through the scraps of paper, scrawled signs, and cryptic markers left by survivors as they struggle to stay alive and find those they ve lost in a world overrun by zombies. Through these found notes and messages letters to loved ones, journal fragments, confessions, and warnings readers can uncover the story of what went wrong, and come to know the individual voices of those affected by the zombie crisis.

About the Author
Lost Zombies is a San Francisco Bay Area-based social network for zombie fans that logs a quarter-million page views monthly.

Yes, it’s the Zombie Apocalypse… again. Only this time it’s told in a found footage sort of a way, not entirely dissimilar to ‘Zombie Haiku‘, but focusing on the Living ‘survivors’ as a group, conveyed in the form of found scraps of primary testimony from a fictional doomsday. It’s a novel concept, at least, but no less a hateful one.

Just look at the loaded language in the official product description: the undead ‘swarm’, the world is ‘overrun by zombies’. Who’s to say that the Undead don’t congregate peacefully, or that they don’t have equal claim to this planet? After all, they are FROM here.

Isn’t it their world too? I certainly think so.

The ZRC will keep you apprised as to any further updates on this disturbing looking tome. It comes out September 21st of this year, for those who need to investigate on their own behalf.
