The Zombie Apocalypse! series is a multi-author horror franchise that tells the story of a global zombie pandemic through collected documents and narratives. Paul Finch was among the contributors, and the series includes both main anthologies and standalone spinoff novels like Horror Hospital and Washington Deceased. The first book appeared in 2010 and the series ran through 2015.
Each volume uses a found-footage approach, presenting the zombie outbreak through fictional diaries, emergency broadcasts, government memos, and survivor accounts. This format gives different authors room to tell their own stories within the shared world. The result is a patchwork account of civilization collapsing, told from ground level by people trying to survive.
