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.

Review
"This book does not have funny zombies. Nor cool zombies. It's not even about the zombies. It's about the people left behind. From scrawled notes and crumpled photos emerge stories of ordinary people dealing with a personal apocalypse. They are touching, harrowing, and incredibly sad." - Max Barry, author of Jennifer Government and Company
"A clever and creative epistolary narrative of the zombie apocalypse." -S.G. Browne, author of Breathers and Fated
"At once funny, tragic, compelling, and unexpected . . . a collection of artifacts from the apocalypse, the last words of the forgotten. Powerful!" -Jonathan Maberry, multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Zombie CSU, Patient Zero, and Rot & Run.

I recently bought the Kindle version. Much of this story is told on handwritten scaps of paper. This makes the Kindle version wasted money as it is difficult to decipher. I set the font to the largest possible and the clarity did not get any better. It may be a good read, but not on the Kindle

Highly entertaining scrapbook with notes from the Zombie Apocolypse
September 12, 2011
Format:Paperback
I was lucky enough to get advanced copy of Dead Inside Do Not Enter, and I was glued to it. It's a highly entertaining scrap book that contains user generated notes that follow the LostZombies.com story line... Reading through it, the notes seems eerily real, even though they're fictitious notes generated by the Lost Zombies community. This is the coolest example of a user generated book I've ever seen.

Come a real Zombie Apocalypse, this book could be mistaken for non-fiction

"Dead Inside: Do Not Enter" is a collection of images of letters, text messages, post-it notes, forms, signs, photographs, memos, grocery lists and other material that tells a gripping fragmented story about the people across the United States and the world dealing with a zombie apocalypse from a mutated "super flu" virus. It has enough tropes of the zombie genre to feel familiar, but there's also something new about this book that I have never seen in any other zombie story, and that comes from its many convincing perspectives.
This book, lovingly crafted by devoted fans of the Zombie genre, really shines in its authentic voices. There is a genuine raw emotion that rings from the scribbled words and sketches included in the piece that is simultaneously horrifying and heart-breaking. Adding to the authenticity are unique handwriting (not just hand-writing fonts) and common spelling and grammar mistakes often seen in hand-written notes without spell-check to catch them out.
I must say, when I picked up this book, which I found in a quirky craft store, I had never heard of the Lost Zombies community, but after flipping through it, I googled it when I arrived home. And immediately, I had an answer to what made this tome so powerful. It was a labor of love created by people who really knew their zombie movies. The reason there are so many different voices in the notes and letters is because they were literally written by different people. Even so, they all follow the same rules of the universe, the same facts and storyline, and because of that there's also a cohesiveness to the piece that's rare in a piece that has so many contributors.
If you're into zombies, this is definitely a must-read.... Read more ›

I found this book to be a poignant and realistic portrayal of life and death following a devestating loss of human life. From outright terror to hope and back again it encompasses what human experience might be like under such circumstances...outstanding...

I was a bit skeptical at first. I really did not know what to expect from a book of snippets. I was wrong.
This was an amazing way to bring this story to life. You almost feel as though you could find those notes or they may have been written for your benefit. It follows a basic timeline thoughout and truly kept my attention.
Great job.

Each note, written by various survivors of the zombie apocalypse, brings out a different emotion. I found myself choked up, angry and laughing all at once - it was the most enjoyable of mood swings ever.
Makes you wonder how much you'd be able to handle, if you were faced with something like this.
I hope to see more Notes from the Zombie Apocalypse soon.

Love the unique scrap book style format of this book. The only bad thing is I read it so quick. I'm ready for part 2!

Interesting concept
Some of the writing was very adolescent, and took away from the effect of the concept. It would have been a better choice to leave those submissions out of the collaboration. Read more
