Saw this on another site and wanted to share it here after reading the first months entries and getting totally sucked in.
It's a journal of sorts of a zombie outbreak. It's freakin awesome. Lengthy, but awesome. Start from January, and read on. I'm really looking forward to the next updates.

sounds very "28 days later"-ish. I only read the first month though.

This is great........Yeah, it does sound like every other dead movie out there, but this gives a one person perspective through journal entries. I'm up to January 19th and I'm already considering buying the book.

Looks a little too long for computer reading. Usually, the only time I read lengthy things is laying or sitting down with a mag or book.

Took me just a few hours to complete reading the journal on Sunday night. Pretty interesting, I like it.

i've read all of it now....good stuff, can't wait to see how it ends, anyone know how often it's updated? i recommend it highly, i started and then couldn't stop reading it.
possible spoilers...(don't want to ruin it for anyone)
is it just me or do the journal entries and get shorter and few as the story progresses? this could just be because of the nature of the story.

i gotta bump this. This is a great thing the guy did. I looooove zombies, and he offers up some new ideas, plot ideas. i like the homage to dawn with the biker gang.
Im sure that you have read "The Zombie Survival Guide"? If not, you should check that out. you can find it in the humor section, written by max brooks. It's a military style survival journal that goes point by point as to different aspects of a zombie attack: what weapons are most effective and why, ways to most effectively secure a location, clothes, vehicles, it's really thorough. Any zombie lover should own it.
This is great cause ive been hooked on anything zombie outbreak related since 28 days later. before that, i had never seen anything in the zombie genre before. Anyone out there know any good zombie movies?
so far ive seen dawn (including remake), day of the dead, and 28 days later. I have yet to see the original night of the living dead, but i hear there are a few different versions/remakes of it.
