A collection of survivor notes documenting a global zombie pandemic.
The Lost Zombies project constructs a fictional reality where a super flu mutation triggers a worldwide zombie outbreak. Skot Leach, Ryan Leach, and Rob Oshima developed this collaborative work to document that world through various media. The book utilizes found footage aesthetics, presenting the narrative as a series of physical artifacts rather than written chapters. Survivors leave behind warnings and personal messages as they struggle to stay alive. This approach creates an immersive experience where the reader pieces together the timeline of the collapse. The focus remains on the immediate aftermath and the desperate attempts to find lost family members. It avoids explaining the scientific origins in detail, instead focusing on the emotional and physical toll on those remaining.
Published by Chronicle Books in 2011, this work sits within the tradition of collaborative experimental fiction. It draws parallels to Post Secret through its use of anonymous confessions and found objects. The Lost Zombies project expands this format into a cohesive fictional universe documented across print and film.

By presenting the narrative through physical artifacts like scraps of paper and signs, it achieves a high degree of immersion for the right audience. The focus on immediate aftermath and personal loss provides emotional weight without needing complex plot resolution. However, readers seeking traditional character arcs or linear storytelling may struggle with the disjointed nature.
