Hollowville
The Zombie Fiction Collective

The 'Virtual Town Project', or Hollowville, was quite simply created by accident. In the process of trying to put together a six part series on another website, each part written by a different author, we realized that we needed the story to take place in one setting. Because of our varied backgrounds, the idea was presented to simply fabricate a town. Sadly, that co-op fell apart...but, the idea of the fictional town grew.

Hollowville is merely a setting. It is a place that does not exist. The perfect home for fictional characters.

The main goal behind the virtual town concept is to give authors a place to exercise their creativity in a new format. By containing different continuing tales in one setting, writers can pool from each other's ideas, as well as cross their storylines.

Take a moment to imagine that. Really. Imagine seven different writers telling tales of speculative fiction, with all of their characters living in the same town. Imagine all seven of those characters crossing paths, each on his/her own inexplicable journey into horror. Now, imagine seventeen, or even seventy such tales...
