Zombies and Shit
2010 book by Carlton Mellick III
Zombies and Shit is a zombie-filled Bizarro fiction written by Carlton Mellick III and was released in 2010 by the publishing company Eraserhead Press.
Plot
A large group people awaken in the middle of a post-apocalyptic-type wasteland with no recollection of how they got there. Each person is equipped with a backpack of supplies and an odd weapon. The group soon finds out that they are a part of a reality show known as Zombies and Shit and their objective is to get to the rescue zone where there will be a helicopter waiting to take them to safety. This island is crawling with zombies that are there for the sole purpose of feasting on their flesh. It soon becomes apparent to the group that there is only one seat available on the helicopter. Zombies will not be the only things trying to stop them from reaching the rescue zone alive as soon they will have to turn on each other.
Shaun of the Dead meets Battle Royale in this over-the-top, action-packed, and all-out bloody gore fest of a battle for survival.

Why this record matters
“Zombies and Shit” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Zombies, Shit and book provides the most credible route into that argument.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q105320334. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
