Video Version: https://youtu.be/bj06CcbPshE Immerse yourself in the chilling world after the disaster, where the boundary between life and death is erased, and humanity teeters on the edge of the abyss. "She's a Zombie" is not just a story about the walking dead; it is a powerful, multi—layered narrative about survival in an absolutely destroyed Russia, where not only cities, but also all the foundations of civilization have collapsed.
What awaits you on this grim journey:
Merciless Apocalypse: Forget about the romance of zombies. The world is plunged into chaos after the "Storm Pandemic", a virus that surpassed all nightmares. Death has become commonplace, turning into a cynical spectacle, and the survivors struggle not only with hunger and the undead, but also with their own loss of everything that made them human.
Intertwining Fates: Follow different groups of survivors whose paths unexpectedly cross in the ruins of their former lives. There is no main character here — there are only attempts by different people to save themselves in hell. Meet me:
Vladimir (Vova) and the Boy: A red-bearded man with a troubled past and a shotgun, responsible for a child in a world where childhood is a luxury.
Motyu: An ordinary man whose daily struggle for gasoline and basic needs turns into an absurd and terrible tragedy.
Fedor, Misha and Ilya: A strange alliance trying to forage in an abandoned restaurant, where the past catches up with them in the most unexpected forms.
Anna and Maria: Two women bound by necessity but separated by their views, who embark on a dangerous raid into a looted shopping mall for the hope of a "Commune."
The "Plague Doctor" Oscar and Stepan: A mysterious scientist and his assistant who conducts creepy experiments on the undead in search of salvation... or something more?
Depth and Realism: The story goes far beyond the action. This is an in-depth study of human psychology under pressure. How do people behave when laws, morals, and the future disappear? What remains important—food, weapons, gold, memory, revenge, hope? The author masterfully shows despair, cynicism, black humor, rare glimpses of compassion and incredible cruelty, born in this new world.
The Social Mirror: Through the prism of the apocalypse, the story sharply and mercilessly criticizes modern society — its problems, hypocrisy, consumerism and fragility. The characters' memories of "before" contrast with the nightmare of "after," making them think about the price of civilization.
The atmosphere of Hopelessness and Tension: The author creates an incredibly thick, oppressive atmosphere. Each chapter is imbued with anxiety, a sense of constant surveillance (be it zombies, birds or other people) and the understanding that any mistake is fatal. The description of the world — destroyed cities, hospitals, gas stations, shopping malls — is detailed and eerily realistic.
