![]() Mockumentary books can encompass epistolary novels, historical fiction, ergodic fiction, or even oral histories for example. Be it with words, interviews, diary entries, letters, fake documents, and whatnot. I think this has to do mostly with how the story is told. So I would say that mockumentary books are those that, while fictitious, mimic nonfiction. Hey, maybe they’ll even have you googling the facts only to discover that the thing never happened at all. Maybe even a mix of both, like What We Do in the Shadows.īut how does that apply to books? Instead of documentaries, we have nonfiction. Most notably horror, with found footage such as The Blair Witch Project, or comedy like The Office. You can see mockumentaries mixed with other genres. ![]() Mockumentary books, although not an “official” genre, are so fun to read! They take their name from mockumentary films, which present “a fictional story, satire or parody as if it were an actual documentary that discusses real-life events”. ![]()
